The Rostec State Corporation has begun deliveries of the upgraded Krasnopol projectiles to the troops. About it RIA News told the press service of the holding "High-precision complexes".

At present, the Instrument Design Bureau is already manufacturing and supplying modernized guided artillery shells to the customer.

– said the agency in the company.



At the same time, for security reasons, Rostec refused to disclose the characteristics of the upgraded ammunition.

Recall that at present, basic versions of Krasnopol high-precision projectiles of 152 mm caliber are used in the zone of the special military operation. These munitions are equipped with a semi-active laser homing head and aerodynamic rudders, with the help of which the trajectory is adjusted when the projectile approaches the target.

Russian gunners have repeatedly spoken highly of the combat properties of Krasnopol ammunition. With their help, not only personnel and military technique Ukrainian army, but also ammunition depots, as well as command posts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

However, until recently, the Russian army did not have a large stock of "Krasnopolya". In addition, some of them were captured by militants of the Kyiv regime during the offensive last fall. But now there is every reason to believe that the artillerymen of the Russian Federation will receive precision-guided projectiles in the required quantity.

    And why didn't anyone try to blow it up? ... draped in such a way that they left everything to chance? ... and who is the ONE who commanded the Armies at that time, which abandoned everything without destroying it? ... maybe this commander was also awarded?

      Krasnopol, shells, no one captured. They simply did not exist in this direction at that time. This was not the main direction of hostilities, there was very little artillery there. The Ukrainians chatted for show off, and our "military correspondents" began to multiply this lie.

    What about the REN news? TV https://ren.tv/longread/984764-osobennosti-primeneniia-snariada-krasnopol-i-ego-otlichiia-ot-analogov from June 08, 2022,

    Work on the creation of "Krasnopol" began in the late 1970s at the Instrument Design Bureau in Tula. The laser semi-active homing head for the projectile was developed by the Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Association. The work was completed in the first half of the 90s. Subsequently, several modifications of the complex were developed: KM-1 "Krasnopol", 3OF39M "Krasnopol-M", KM-2 "Krasnopol-M2", "Krasnopol-D". Serial production is carried out by Izhmash OJSC, and the homing head (GOS) for the projectile is manufactured by LOMO JSC. The main customer is the Russian army. The shells are also in service in India. Some US Army analysts note that the Krasnopol is superior to the Copperhead in range, projectile weight, targets and ease of control. In addition, experts emphasize, the US projectile has an unreliable guidance system, which is highly dependent on weather conditions and visibility. In 2006, the US Army also adopted the M982 Excalibur GPS-guided projectile, jointly produced by the US and Sweden. The accuracy of its use in Iraq was 92%, while the accuracy of the Krasnopol reached 96%, experts say. This is the first time in the world that such an indicator has been achieved for cannon artillery. Unlike US ammunition, Russian shells can hit moving equipment, and can also be used for counter-battery warfare and the destruction of enemy control centers, bunkers and bridges.

    And how to evaluate now:

    Currently, the Instrument Design Bureau is already manufacturing and delivering modernized guided artillery shells to the customer.

    God willing, but the information is strange. After all, back in June 2022, REN.TV reported:

    Serial production of modernized Krasnopol shells is carried out by Izhmash OJSC
