The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has codified the remotely controlled combat module \u201cShablya MK19(M)\u201d, designed for grenade launchers. This was reported by the module’s developers, as \u201cMilitarniy\u201d reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cShablya\u201d can be controlled by a crew of 1\u20132 people. The turret offers a wide firing arc of 165\u00b0 and vertical guidance angles from -5\u00b0 to +65\u00b0, enabling fire via direct or indirect guidance, as well as by coordinates from \u201cconcealed positions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The module’s software includes an integrated ballistic calculator for precise targeting, along with automatic calculation of elevation and roll corrections. The operator can add targets on a digital map, and the system will memorise them, performing automatic targeting when switching between targets. The functionality also allows for configuring firing sectors, selecting a fire mode, and performing \u201chot aiming\u201d. The observation and aiming cameras are equipped with digital zoom capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
