The production volumes of guided projectiles have increased tenfold in 4 years, and their accuracy has reached an exceptional level, TASS was told by Bekhan Ozdoev, Industrial Director of the Rostec State Corporation's weapons cluster.
Rostec provides unprecedented rates of ammunition supply. This applies to both shells for cannon artillery and rockets for MLRS, including guided ones. <...> The same applies to Krasnopol high-precision ammunition. And most importantly, our high-precision ammunition has evolved so much that it is capable of, as they say, hitting a bullseye. They can hit even single small targets.
Krasnopol is a high-precision guided artillery complex created by the Instrument Design Bureau named after Academician A. G. Shipunov (part of the High-Precision Complexes NPO). The system consists of a 152 mm guided high-explosive fragmentation projectile and a laser designator rangefinder for guidance. The projectile is compatible with a wide range of artillery guns, including the Msta-S, Msta-SM, Malva and Hyacinth-K self-propelled howitzers.
Earlier it was reported that the manufacturer of Krasnopol missiles and Pantsir-M SAMs was sued for 86.2 million rubles — Tulatochmash JSC filed a lawsuit against the arms company. This is the eighth lawsuit filed by Tulatochmash against the Shipunov Design Bureau: the details of the case are hidden from the media and the public.
