Malyuk

The Malyuk (Ukrainian: Малюк, lit. "Baby") or Vulcan is a bullpup assault rifle developed by the Ukrainian arms company Interproinvest (IPI).

According to IPI Vice CEO Serhiy Luhovskyy, development of the Malyuk started in 2005.

The development was based on a contract placed by the Security Service of Ukraine with prototype rifles provided before inquiries were made by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence in 2008.

In February 2015, feedback was provided by then president Petro Poroshenko and the Department of State Security Guard.

Production was made in cooperation with the Electron Corporation as they can quickly produce the rifles with modern manufacturing equipment with the Krasyliv Assembly Manufacturing Plant.

The Malyuk debuted in 2015 at the Arms & Security Expo in Kyiv in 2015.

The rifle was first seen in public outside of Ukraine at the International Defence Industry Fair in May 2015 at Istanbul, Turkey and at the Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition in September 2016 at Baku, Azerbaijan.

In July 2019, according to the Ministry of Defence spokesperson, the Malyuk rifle commenced production.
