The Russian Airborne Forces are testing the portable firing point PT PKM-DU "Manul"

5

At the training ground of the 98th Guards Air Assault Division, the Manul portable PT PKM-DU firing point is currently being tested. It was created by local designers taking into account the experience of a special military operation. Video footage of the tests was published online.

Judging by the video, the design of the portable firing point is a PKM machine gun mounted on a special machine with remote control. The process of aiming and shooting from a laptop is controlled by the operator. It is clarified that after completion of the tests, the PKM-DU "Manul" anti-tank missile will be transferred to units of the 98th Airborne Assault Division in the special military operation zone.




However, this is not all the know-how that may soon appear in service with units of the Russian Airborne Forces. At the same time, at the training ground of the 98th Airborne Assault Division, tests are being carried out on the portable firing point of the Boomslang anti-tank missile system with a remote control panel.

Let us add that experts do not give exact dates for the arrival of new weapons to the troops, however, judging by the pace of testing, we will not have to wait long.

Note that the 98th Airborne Division, based in the city of Ivanovo, has been taking part in the special military operation from the first days. The unit’s fighters, together with their colleagues from Pskov, held the defense for a long time and stormed nationalist strongholds in the Lugansk People’s Republic, and are now carrying out combat missions in the DPR.

    Such fire weapons, controlled at a distance, are in great demand. By placing several of these firing points, covering the killing field, especially with anti-tank systems, and placing command and control personnel in reinforced concrete fortifications, the area will be blocked for a long time. This needs to be created earlier and not by divisional means, but by the institutes of the RF Ministry of Defense and manufactured at the military-industrial complex. Only the RF Ministry of Defense still does not meet the requirements and often personally produces what should be created and provided by the RF Ministry of Defense.

      We produce such military-industrial complexes only for exhibitions and the Army forum.

    Cornets with remote controls are already arriving at the front lines. The control range is up to 500 meters from the installation.

    Why don't they create "pairs" where the sight is nearby, but"at a distance", i.e. mechanically completely unrelated to each other? Firstly, the latter can thus be more secure... Secondly, control point for the beholder there will always be peace!
    PS: in general, look at the video, how this dinosaur(s) is a louse and becomes sad - video montage, that the “exhaust” is backwards, all in face
    yes, and from the cross-section of the cable cores, it is noticeable that creators The law of conservation of energy is completely alien...
