Burya robotic turret goes into mass production

The Ukrainian startup Frontline has launched the Burya robotic turret for the Mk 19 40-mm grenade launcher into mass production.

The company shared this with Militarnyi.

At the moment, Burya is being supplied to several Ukrainian front-line units, including the Da Vinci Wolves battalion, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, and the 101st Separate Security Brigade of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Along with the supply, service support is provided, and operators are trained on the Burya turret.

So far, dozens of Mk 19 grenade launcher operators have been trained to work with the grenade launcher on a tripod and on ground robotic systems.

Production is fully secured with orders for the first quarter of 2025 due to direct orders from military units. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allocates several billion hryvnias to military units every month to purchase unmanned aerial vehicles.

Frontline is currently working on expanding its capacity to meet the military’s demand for robotic remote-controlled systems.

The developers say that the turret is constantly being improved based on the experience of the military and their feedback.

“We are planning to combine the turret’s targeting system with data from reconnaissance UAVs to transmit coordinates to the target in live mode,” Frontline announced future updates.

Key features of the Burya robotic turret:

• Remote control, targeting, and firing at a distance of 50-100 meters
• Targeting through the turret control program with a built-in
• Ballistic calculator
• Recoil suppression system for better accuracy
• Ammunition capacity: 32 – 64 pcs.
• Weight: 47 kg
• Multiple firing modes: single / burst / programmable burst
• Switching between stationary and gyro-stabilized mode

The Burya grenade launcher turret allows for more efficient firing of the grenade launcher than from a standard tripod. It allows for multiple targets, re-targeting in seconds at the operator’s command.

The operator controls the system remotely using a remote control or laptop. It is enough to specify a point on the map or enter coordinates to make shots.
