I concluded that Russian missile could also be guided in via a ground based laser designator. [RIA Novosti] Russia, as part of a special operation in Ukraine, used new high-precision 305 aircraft missiles to destroy important military facilities, an informed source told RIA Novosti. "As part of a special military operation in Ukraine, the army aviation of the Russian Federation began to use the new 305 light multi-purpose guided missiles. The missiles are used from the Mi-28NM attack helicopters at important facilities of the Ukrainian troops, for example, at warehouses with ammunition and fuel and lubricants," the source said. agencies. He specified that "the new missiles provide high accuracy in hitting targets with a deviation from the aiming line of no more than two meters." The source spoke about the various guidance modes of the ammunition. With the "fire-and-forget" option, the target is captured by the optoelectronic homing head (GOS) of the missile, when it is still on the helicopter suspension, after launch, the ammunition is completely autonomous. Another option is the telecontrol mode, when the launch is carried out out of sight of the target according to the transmitted coordinates. In this case, the missile flies in inertial mode, and when approaching the target, the seeker is turned on, the image from which is transmitted to the screen of the armament operator in the helicopter cockpit. The operator recognizes and indicates the target to the homing head. "Product 305" was first presented at the "Army-2021" exhibition. The rocket was developed in the Kolomna company KBM. This weapon is designed to defeat single and group stationary and moving targets day and night. The range of the rocket is 14.5 kilometers, its launch weight is 105 kilograms, the weight of the high-explosive fragmentation warhead is 25 kilograms. |
