Cannon-Launched Guided Projectile Systems

152mm 2K25 and 155mm KM-1 KRASNOPOL

Cannon-Launched Guided Projectile Systems

Mission

Both projectiles are designed to destroy enemy tanks, IFVs, SP guns and other armoured and unarmoured targets travelling at a speed of up to 36 km/h and static exposed and sheltered ones, as well as command posts, dugouts, bridges, various fording facilities and light-weight combat, assault landing and transport ships, with hit probability at ranges of up to 12 km and 12-20 km being 0.8-0.9 and 0.6-0.7, respectively. Features

The system comprises a round with a guided projectile and the 1D22 laser designator/range-finder. 152mm Krasnopol CLGPs can be fired by Msta-S and 2S3M Akatsiya SP artillery systems, D-20 and Msta-B towed guns. 155mm KM-1 Krasnopol CLGPs can be employed by 155mm M109, G6 and other guns.

Krasnopol and Krasnopol-M1 CLGPs are used for both direct and indirect fire.

To fit the ammunition load in the fighting compartment of an SP gun, Krasnopol CLGPs include two sections, with one of them housing warhead, booster and stabiliser assembly, and the other being the guidance package with nose fairing, autopilot and homing head. Prior to firing, both sections are joined via a fast-screw joint. Nose fairing, which is discarded in flight, is designed to protect optics from damage and soiling.

The projectile is a HE fragmentation munition whose formidable top-attack warhead is lethal to all in-service and future tanks. Basic specifications
