Krasnopol Guided Artillery She'll System Information 👇

The 2K25 Krasnopol system consists of the 30F39 guided shell, a 1D22, 1D20, or 1D15 laser target designator (LTD), and the 1A35 shot synchronization system.

The laser designation system has a range of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), while the projectile itself has a range of 20 kilometres (12 mi) and a target seeker radius of 1 kilometre (0.62 mi).

The two-part projectile is divided into the following sections: target seeker, guidance module, warhead and rear compartment.

The seeker and guidance module are stored as a single component in sealed container, as is the rear section with warhead; this allows the oversized projectile to be loaded and transported inside existing ammunition containers in legacy self-propelled howitzers.

The two components are joined immediately prior to firing.

The system functions as follows.

The observer determines the target location (e.g. map coordinates or bearing and distance from their own position), ensures that their laser target designator can 'mark' the target and requests or orders a fire mission against the target using Krasnopol.

A gun is then aimed at the target location and a guided shell is fired.

The firing unit uses their 1A35K command device to send a signal via a communications link confirming the firing of the projectile to the 1A35I observation post device with the observer.

The laser target designator is then used to illuminate the target and the in-flight projectile detects the radiant laser energy reflected by the target and the navigation system steers the shell towards the point of greatest incident energy—the designated target with top attack pattern.

The iris of the optical seeker head is protected by a cap which is ejected by a mechanical timer upon firing.

The guidance module contains an inertial reference system, a power source, various electric motors and controls and four folding canards used to execute command guidance signals.

The warhead is a high explosive fragmentation type which can also be used against heavily armored vehicles such as tanks owing to the steep trajectory of the projectile which allows it to defeat the relatively thin roof armor on most vehicles.

Behind the warhead is a rear compartment which houses four folding stabilizers.

Krasnopol system can also fire a salvo from multiple artillery pieces on one target using a single laser designator.

After destruction of the initial target, the LTD operator may request or order another target.

If these subsequent targets are close together they should be upwind (from the previous target) to reduce smoke and dust interference with the designator.

Krasnopol is capable of hitting targets moving at speeds up to 36 km/h (22 mph).
