The power of the LMUR warhead allows it to hit firing points, armored vehicles, artillery systems, and air defense systems. The guided flight range of the Kh-39 LMUR missile is 14.5 km, it is equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 25 kg. The speed of the ammunition is up to 230 m/s.
The functioning of the video image transmission channel from the mid-wave IR sensor of the optoelectronic seeker to the multi-functional indicator of the navigator-operator is noteworthy.
