"The uniqueness of this design is that the engine in the buggy is located in the middle. That is, the undercarriage is perfectly unloaded here, and this greatly affects the passability of the vehicle. Also, this buggy is a three-seater, and one seat can be completely folded, so that it is convenient to transport an injured person if necessary. There is a convenient compartment for various weapons and two points for fixing machine guns," said Taras Yanush, a student of the school and one of the developers.

He also noted that the first buggies at the school began to be converted from sports models to those that would be more convenient on the front line. Last year, they developed a self-made model of Tyrex buggies, which still perform combat missions. And "GURKIT" is a vehicle that is an even more improved version of the previous one, because it takes into account all the needs of the military, which tests various vehicles in battle.

It is emphasized that the four-wheel drive buggy has many advantages. In particular, in addition to the central location of the engine, the low center of gravity; high clearance; protected gas tank; front and rear curtains of the body are missing; circular disc brakes. And besides, high passability, load capacity and maneuverability (small turning radius).

The City Council adds that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Lviv School of Computer Technologies and Construction has been actively involved in helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine and internally displaced Ukrainians: IDPs live and study here, repair cars for the military, conduct drone operator courses, create unique lighting devices, cooperate with various public and international organizations.
