The module is equipped with a high-resolution camera with stabilization in two planes. The system allows, with the help of the installed thermal imaging sight, to observe and accurately hit the target at a distance of up to 500 meters.

The module is operated using a joystick and an LCD monitor. Therefore, the operator does not have to be near the machine gun installation; the module can be controlled remotely at a distance of 50 meters.

Specialists have also developed an anti-drone mount for the PKM machine gun. It can be used to engage enemy drones and ground targets from standing and kneeling positions.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a new communication system for kamikaze drones has been developed in Russia: it bypasses all existing electronic warfare systems.
