Quote: "The Khyzhak combat module can be used both in stationary mode and on a mobile platform. The 7.62 mm calibre machine guns installed on it can be equipped with Soviet-style or NATO-standard ammunition."

Details: The remotely controlled module can fire at small arms ranges. It can accompany and fire in different planes: at targets on the ground or in the air. The platform's stabilisation allows for accurate firing even while moving.

Background:

Earlier, the Ministry of Defence approved the Shablia ("Sabre") MK19(M) remote-controlled combat module, designed to fire dense and accurate shots from a 40mm MK19 automatic grenade launcher.
The development is adapted for installation on ground-based robotic systems and vehicles, and the platform can be operated by 1-2 people.
