Details: The official said the turret's remote operation saves the lives and health of machine gunners.

Fedorov further noted that the mass production of ShaBlia turrets had become possible as part of the Brave1 cluster of support for defence technology developments in Ukraine.

"The ShaBlia is an innovation and an example of a modern warfare weapon... Our task is to help create innovations so that they reach the battlefield faster and are used sooner, and we get feedback and see more of these innovations."

Background: In autumn, Ukraine's Defence Ministry commissioned the first ShaBlia remote-controlled combat module, which former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson highly praised.
