The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has approved the use of the "Pernach" remote fire control module.

The module enables shooting from a machine gun using a remote control.

The Ministry of Defense has completed the codification and approved the use of the remotely controlled fire module "Perkach," developed and manufactured in Ukraine, for the Defense Forces units. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense press service on Thursday, November 14.

The module is compatible with a 7.62-mm machine gun and is equipped with a remote control unit, a battery, and a camera. Using the module, military personnel can engage enemy targets from a distance without being physically present at the module's location.

“The operator controls the module from a safe shelter using a remote and FPV goggles, which receive images from the video camera,” the Ministry of Defense press service stated.

The production of "Perkach" is managed by the private Ukrainian defense company UMForge. Among the technical advantages highlighted by the manufacturer are:

  • remote control via a remote and goggles;
  • thermal imaging sight;
  • the module without a machine gun is lightweight and easily transportable by one person;
  • the presence of a mobile robotic platform that allows the installation of electronic warfare tools to combat enemy FPV drones across all frequency bands.

It is worth noting that at the end of October, the Ministry of Defense allowed the Defense Forces to use the robotic complex "Targan." The robot can stealthily transport up to two hundred kilograms of cargo—ammunition, food, and equipment—across the battlefield.
