The SHABLYA MK19(M) is equipped with a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher, designed to engage a variety of targets. It can be integrated into ground robotic systems as well as transport vehicles.

The system supports both direct and indirect fire capabilities, allowing it to strike enemy positions using coordinate-based targeting from concealed locations. This flexibility enhances operational effectiveness in dynamic combat environments.
