A powerful long-range ammunition will be created on the basis of the high-precision artillery projectile "Krasnopol" (developed at the Instrument Design Bureau named after Shipunov - KBP, produced at the Izhmash plant), said KBP representative Alexander Shigin.
The development of "Krasnopol" will be in a new line of ammunition, which will allow firing at other ranges and with greater power
The technical characteristics of the new ammunition will become known after its adoption, Shigin summarized.
Probably, we are talking about the development program of the guided projectile "Krasnopol-D". It is known that the ammunition has an inertial-navigation unit, GLONASS and a bottom gas generator. The firing range of "Krasnopol-D", fired from the "Coalition-SV" self-propelled guns, exceeds 70 km.
In November, it was reported that the modernized projectile "Krasnopol" began to enter the Russian Armed Forces.
