Russian military personnel have at their disposal the Bulsae-4 M-2018 NLOS ATGM self-propelled anti-tank missile system (ATGM) manufactured by North Korea. This was reported by Western media, including Forbes and Army Recognition.
Later, a video appeared on the Web, filmed by the Orlan-30 UAV (developed by Special Technological Center LLC), which captured the moment when the British AS-90 self-propelled artillery unit (SPG) was hit by the Bulsae-4 complex. Military expert Evgeny Damantsev commented on this footage.
The video shows an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) moving along a complex trajectory with an estimated speed of 230-270 m/s with a solid propellant rocket engine (RDTT) running. At the same time, it is obvious that the ATGM was launched from a closed firing position and is equipped with an optoelectronic homing head (GOS) with a command-telemetric control channel, which eliminates the need to maintain a direct line of sight between the self-propelled launcher (PU) and the target object.
The expert recalled that the Tula KBP was developing similar technologies as part of the Tulyak R&D project. We are talking about equipping 9M133M-2/FM-3 ATGMs of the Kornet family with optoelectronic seekers with IR/TV channels and a secure command-telemetric asynchronous data exchange line.
Damantsev believes that the effectiveness of strikes against enemy artillery by the Bulsae-4 ATGM complex will correspond to the capabilities of the Krasnopol-M2 guided artillery projectile (UAS) ZOF95.
Features of the Bulsae-4 ATGM:
- range — up to 25 km
- ATGM speed — up to 1000 km/h
- placement of 8 missiles on one launcher
- possibility of salvo fire
