It can be used from a tripod, vehicle mount, or remote station against light armor, firing points, personnel, and low-flying aerial targets; in the Russia-Ukraine War it remains relevant because legacy stocks and vehicle-mounted NSVT variants continue to appear on battlefield equipment.Built in archive
