Russian military personnel have improved the 7.62-mm Kalashnikov tank modernized machine gun (PKMT) with an electromechanical reloading mechanism. Thus, the soldiers solved the problem of installing the gun on remote combat modules, the Telegram channel "Military Informant" reported.
PKTM is not equipped with its own sighting devices, aiming is carried out using mechanisms and sights of combat vehicles.
For installation on remote machine-gun modules, the military has developed an electromechanical reloading mechanism that allows the PKTM to be used as part of combat remotely controlled systems.
