Ukraine’s Military Is Using the Steam Deck in a Novel Way

TRO Media (Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces) photos and films demonstrate its ability to remotely control turrets. According to the caption on Instagram, their setup, which includes a Steam Deck running a bespoke UI, allows the operator to be up to 500 metres (1,640 feet) away from the gun itself. This is an excellent weapon for defending the operator’s life from Russian forces who will be targeting the turret. The Instagram caption also mentions that any anti-personnel or anti-tank weapon, not simply the gun seen in the video, can be put on the platform. This is an intriguing Steam Deck attachment, but it will never be made available to the general public.
