Krasnopol (Weapon)

The 30F39 Krasnopol is a Russian 152/155 mm cannon-launched, fin-stabilized, base bleed-assisted, semi-automatic laser-guided, explosive projectile. It automatically 'homes' on a point illuminated by a laser designator, typically operated by a ground-based artillery observer. It is intended to engage small ground targets such as tanks, other direct fire weapons, strong-points, or other significant point targets visible to the observer. It can be used against both stationary and moving targets (providing these remain within the observer's field of view).

In February 1986 the Krasnopol system was adopted by the Soviet Army and began mass production in Izhmash and Izhmeh factories. Since 2002 it is augmented by the 120-122 mm Kitolov-2 laser-guided system.
