Rostec's ATGMs: Ozdoev talks about where and how Russian missiles are used, hitting targets with pinpoint accuracy

Rostec's technological solutions in the field of guided weapons demonstrate high accuracy and resistance to interference, ensuring effectiveness on the battlefield. In an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, Bekhan Ozdoev, Industrial Director of Rostec's cluster of weapons, ammunition and special chemistry, spoke about achievements in the field of guided weapons.

Anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), as well as other types of high-precision weapons developed by Rostec, continue to improve, reaching new levels of accuracy and functionality.

According to Ozdoev, modern ATGMs, including the "Kornet", are capable of hitting not only armored vehicles, but also infrastructure facilities, such as fortifications, command posts, communication towers and other targets. A special feature of these missiles is their ability to penetrate through narrow openings, such as embrasures of firing points, which significantly increases their effectiveness.

One of the key characteristics is the integration of guided missiles with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), creating a reconnaissance and fire loop at the tactical level. This combination allows for more accurate targeting and minimizes ammunition consumption.

In addition to ATGMs, Ozdoev noted the Krasnopol artillery shells, which have also been adapted to modern challenges. The modified version of Krasnopol-M2 demonstrates improved characteristics, including increased resistance to electronic warfare (EW) systems. Unlike the American analogue ARS M982 Excalibur, domestic developments are less susceptible to external interference, which makes them especially effective at maximum firing range.
