@ 2023/05/03Gaming gets a little too real
Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign from 2014, soldiers in Ukraine are now using Steam Decks to operate a high-calibre machine gun turret remotely.
Dubbed “Sabre”, the system is unique to Ukraine and has been deployed on the front. It is connected to a large machine gun via a heavy cable, which means the Ukrainians can fight the enemy from a great distance. The Steam decks can handle a range of calibres, from light machine guns firing anti-tank rounds to an AK-47.
