This weapon system is intended for first-shot
defeat (without fire adjustment) of tanks, infantry
fighting vehicles, artillery pieces, both moving (at
a speed of up to 36 km/h) and stationary, deployed in
the open or in pits, as well as dugouts, bridges, ferries,
and surface targets (combatant, landing and transport
ships) at a range of 3 to 25 km.
The Krasnopol system does not require
re-equipment of fire positions or command-observation
posts. It can do without high-accuracy topographic,
geodetic or meteorological data.
Firing the Krasnopol guided artillery
projectile is performed both from towed pieces and self-propelled
artillery pieces.
For being carried in a standard ammunition
stowage of self-propelled artillery pieces the projectile
is made up of two sections mated before firing by a
quick-connect joint.
The Krasnopol GAP does not require any
serviceability checks or scheduled maintenance during
10 years' storage in depots.
The Krasnopol system can be equipped
with both Russian (1D20, 1D22 and ËÖÄ-3Ì1)
and foreign-made laser designator/range finders (for
example, French-made DHY309). |
