KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 26. /TASS/. The newest remote-controlled combat module (DUBM) AU-220M "Baikal" is at the final stage of preliminary tests.

"The 57-mm artillery module AU-220M, designed for arming armored combat vehicles, is at the final stage of preliminary tests. Its state tests will be carried out according to a separate decision of the state customer - after determining the type of chassis for placing the combat module," the UVZ informed.
