Russia’s Arbalet-DM Remote Controlled Weapon Station Tested against Helicopter Target
Russsia’s Arbalet-DM remote controlled weapon station (RCWS) was successfully tested for the first time against a moving target resembling a helicopter, at night last week.
This RCWS, armed with a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun (upto 450 rounds of ammunition), a thermal imaging camera and mounted on a Tigr armored car, tracked the target from over 2000 meters away, the Russian MoD said in a statement.
Weighing 250kg, the system can be mounted on surface vessels and tracked vehicles.
“Russia is marketing the Arbalet-DM RCWS abroad, with Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Latin America being the target regions,” a source told Defenseworld.net.
