Liutyi

The AN-196 Liutyi[4] (Ukrainian: Лютих, “fierce/furious” or “February”[5]) also spelled Lyutyi[6] or Liutiy,[3] is a Ukrainian one-way attack unmanned aerial vehicle (OWA-UAV) developed by Ukroboronprom in October 2022 as an analogue to the Russian-fielded Shahed 136 loitering munition.

[4] During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Liutyi has seen heavy use by Ukraine in attacks on Russian territory, including oil refineries, industrial facilities, and military airfields.

On 25 November 2024, the Ukrainian military website Militarnyi reported that a Liutyi fitted with an upgraded 75 kg warhead was used to strike a Russian oil refinery in Saratov, at a range of more than 600 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.
