9M133-1 / 9K135 - Kornet (AT-14 Spriggan) - Platforms
The 9M133 missile together with its 9P163-1 tripod launcher and 1PN79-1 thermal sight forms the 9K135 missile system, which can be carried and operated by a two-person infantry crew. The transfer to the firing position takes less than one minute, and preparation and production of a shot in at least one second. Kornet's anti-tank missile system has been fitted with the ‘top attack’ capability. In addition to an infantry portable version, the 9K133 system has been integrated into a variety of other vehicles and weapons systems as either an upgrade package or a new weapon system.
In addition to the portable version based ATGM "Kornet" developed complex following options: Single combat module (MBP) "Cleaver" With the combined missile-gun armament. Module has four ATGM launchers "Kornet", 30-mm automatic cannon 2A72 (4000m firing range, rate of 350-400 rounds per minute). The total weight of the turret - about 1500 kg, including ammunition and missiles. The control system includes a ballistic computer, night vision devices, laser rangefinder and stabilization system. Angle horizontal guidance - 360 °, vertical - from -10 ° to +60°. Ammunition - 12 missiles, 8 of them in the autoloader. MBP "Cleaver" is designed to equip a wide range of combat vehicles lightweight type BMP, BTR, may be placed on small ships, including coast guard cutters, as well as stationary. Fighting module design is a turret located on the pursuit of a size similar to the size of the ring BMP-1.
Module weight and small size shoulder straps allow the use of "Cleaver" as a universal set of weapons that is placed on military vehicles lightweight, including BMP-1, BMP-2, BTR-80, "Pandur", "Piranha", "Fahd". "Cleaver" has a perfect automated fire control system, which includes a two-axis stabilized sight with reticle-rangefinder, thermal imaging and laser channels (Laser Sight - guidance device 1K13-2) ballistic computer with the sensor system of external information, as well as stabilization system armament unit in two planes. This allows you to fire guided weapons with places on the move and afloat, by land, air and sea targets, exceeding the firepower of existing combat vehicles, including modern BMP M2 Bradley.
An important advantage of this development - the ability to install the module on most carriers in customer maintenance organizations without modifying transport base. Automated PU 9P163-2 "Quartet" with four guides and electromechanical actuators based on light carrier. The unit includes: a turret with four rails for missiles, sight-guidance device 1P45M-1 thermal sight 1PN79M-1 electronic module and driver's seat. Boeukladka housed separately.
The firing unit PU 9P163-2 is in constant combat readiness can produce up to four rounds without reloading, shooting a salvo two missiles in one beam at a single target. It is characterized by simplified search and target tracking using electromechanical actuators. 9P162 combat vehicle On the basis of the BMP-3 chassis. BM 9P162 is equipped with an autoloader to automate the process of preparing for combat and work to minimize the time reloading. In the loading mechanism can be located up to 12 plus 4 SD ATGM in lodgment. Two guides allow you to fire two missiles in one beam at a particularly dangerous purpose. Retractable induced in two planes installation includes two guides for suspension transport-launch containers with missiles, which are placed on top of the blocks with guidance equipment.
Two guides allow firing two missiles in one beam at a particularly dangerous purpose. They provide guidance on horizontal angles - 360 °, vertically from -15 ° to +60 °. BM 9P162 floating, aviatransportabelnaya. Combat vehicle body is made of aluminum alloy armor. The most critical projection reinforced rolled steel armor so that they are spaced armor obstacles. BM 9P162 weight less than 18 tons. Maximum road speed 72 km / hour (on a dirt road - 52 km / h, afloat - 10 km / h). Range - 600 - 650 km. Crew (settlement) - 2 person (commander-operator complex and driver). developed Lodging transportable laptop-complex "Kornet-P" ("Kornet-E") in open vehicles. In particular, self-propelled antitank system created "West" on the chassis of the UAZ-3151. In addition, similar accommodation complex is possible on GAZ-2975 "Tiger", UAZ-3132 "Hussar", "Scorpio", etc.
Furthermore, SUE "Instrument Design Bureau" drafted modernizing obsolete BMP-2, including equipping combat vehicle third-generation ATGM "Kornet-E" and install combined Gunner 1K13-2 (while maintaining body and the internal layout of the turret). Calculations of the effectiveness groupings upgraded BMP-2M in combat as the autonomous actions, and supported by tanks show that with equal probability of combat mission required number of combat vehicles can be reduced to 3.8-4 times. This is achieved by a higher probability of defeat tanks ATGM 9M133-1, their more ammunition, effective fire at night. Technical solutions embodied in the modernization of the crew compartment, determine its advantages in comparison with the regular combat compartment BMP-2 for potential weapons on average 3-3.5 times. Refit this version, the BMP-2 on the combat power reaches the level of the best modern infantry fighting vehicles, and possibly defeat tanks and other targets guided missile has a clear advantage.
The 9K133 has been fitted into a BMP-3 to form the 9P163M-1 tank destroyer and is similar in function to the Khrizantema missile system. The 9P163M-1 carries two 9M133 missiles on launch rails, which are extended from a stowed position during transit. Missiles are re-loaded automatically by the tank destroyer from an internal magazine with 16 rounds (missiles are stored and transported in sealed canisters). NBC protection is provided for the two crew (gunner and driver) of each 9P163M-1 in addition to full armor protection equivalent to the standard BMP-3 chassis. The guidance system of the 9P163M-1 allows two missiles to be fired at once, each operating on different guidance (laser) channels.
The KBP Instrument Design Bureau has marketed the 9M133 missile as part of the Kvartet system for mounting on vehicles and boats; the system has four missiles on ready to launch rails along with associated guidance and sighting system all packaged in a single turret; the guidance system also allows two missiles to be fired at once. The turret has space for an additional five rounds and is operated by a single individual. Another upgrade possibility is the Kliver missile and gun turret, seen as an upgrade option for the BTR series of APC, BMP-1 IFV, and patrol boats. It has similar capabilities as the Kvartet turret, but also carries a 30 mm 2A72 cannon; the turret weight is 1,500 kg. Finally, the 9M133 is also available in the BEREZHOK turret upgrade also made available by KBP.
