The Territorial Defence Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrated how the Valve Steam Deck is used to operate the new Shabla combat module.

The Shabla combat module is intended for remote battle vision and can be equipped with either antipersonnel or antitank weapons, with a box for 250, 350, or 600 rounds. The operator can control the module via Wi-Fi or cable, using the Valve Steam Deck as the control console. 

A camera and monitor are used to operate the module. According to the manufacturer, the Shabla can fight from up to 500 meters away from the operator, and it can be mounted on the ground, moving objects, or special vehicles. The module is capable of engaging ground and low-flying targets.

Remote controlled firing modules have been around for a while. These devices allow operators to remotely control the firing. One of the main advantages of using remote controlled firing modules is safety. By using these devices, operators can avoid being in close proximity to the firing line.

However, there are also some disadvantages to using remote controlled firing modules. One of the main drawbacks is the cost. These devices can be expensive, especially if they are high-end models with advanced features. In addition, remote controlled firing modules require regular maintenance and calibration, which can add to the overall cost.

Another disadvantage of using remote controlled firing modules is the potential for technical issues. If the devices are not properly maintained or calibrated, they may not function correctly, which could result in a misfire or other problems.
