The NGDD has released the AT-15B Khrizantema-2 Missile System after months of development. The system can be fired from KAF-90D battle tank main gun or mounted on a modified BMP-3 infantry combat vehicle chassis. The new system uses an advanced propellant, to increase range and lethality, and several classified tweaks and upgrades.
The NGDD has announced that the missile system will be available to international community as of now.
Specs
A new long-range ATGM, the Khrizantema-2 (9M123), capable of firing seven-kilometer-range supersonic missiles, incorporating both radar and laser command guidance receivers. The key role of the Khrizantema (Russian for "chrysanthemum") is to destroy armored vehicles at long range. In addition, it could be used to destroy bunkers, and to engage slow- or low-flying helicopters at a range of up to 8 kilometers.
Two models of the 9M123 missile have been developed. One has a tandem high-explosive antitank (HEAT) warhead; designated the 9M123-3, it apparently can penetrate over 1300 millimeters of steel armor protected by explosive reactive armor (ERA). The second model, the 9M123-F-3, has a high explosive warhead. The maximum range of the missile is 7000 meters with a maximum speed of 400 meters per second; thus it is supersonic. The missile has two movable control surfaces at its rear, with four wrap-around wings about three-quarters of the way down its body toward the rear.
For the first time in the world, an automatic radar target detection and tracking system, with simultaneous missile control during its guidance to the target, was developed for the Khrizantema-2 ATGM. The unique feature of the missile is that it has two modes of guidance: automatic, where it is guided by a roof-mounted radar; and by a semi-automatic laser beam rider, using the sight mounted in the front of the hull on the right side. There is no known comparable missile in the West under development or in service with a similar guidance system.
