The combat vehicle, with the help of the latest and unique weapon control system, which includes a high-quality stabilisation system, provides the ability to engage and follow targets, as well as to fire accurately at enemy targets on the move.

The vehicle is equipped with an optoelectronic module, which enables it to detect targets at a distance of more than 5 kilometres, both day and night.
