The system is intended to defeat single
and group, stationary and moving, armoured and soft-skinned
targets and engineer facilities by towed and self-propelled
122mm artillery systems.
|
Kitolov-2M ensures:
- first-shot target hit without fire adjustment;
defeat of group dispersed targets at permanent fire
mission settings; - firing with incomplete meteorological data;
target kill by penetrating its top (least protected
part); -
salvo (deliberate) fire
with a 20-25 s interval and laser re-aiming
at neighbouring targets during an interval
between target illumination sessions.
|
The Malakhit portable automated fire
control system provides for targets detection and designation
(including night operations), topographical survey and
orientation of fire position and command-observation
post, automated computation of fire settings.
The application of the Kitolov-2M system
significantly enhances the effectiveness of battalion-level
artillery firstly owing to its direct target hit capability
and much higher power of its warhead in comparison with
the standard HEF projectile and secondary the battalion-level
artillery can now successfully defeat tanks, including
moving ones.

imager
