Lists on the subject

The 9K116 Kastet ( NATO code name AT-10 Stabber ) is a cannon-fired anti-tank guided missile from Soviet production. The GRAY index of the guided missiles is 9M117 , 9M117M and 9M117M1 .

development

The 9K116 Kastet system was designed as a guided weapon for battle tanks and armored personnel carriers. System development at the manufacturer KBP in Tula began in the mid-1970s. The first copies were delivered to the Soviet armed forces in 1983.

technology

The 9M117 guided missiles are fired from conventional 100- and 115-mm cannons from main battle tanks. An ejector charge drives the missile out of the cannon barrel. Immediately after leaving the tube, the rocket motor ignites and accelerates the guided weapon to cruising speed. The guided weapon is controlled by means of a laser beam emitted by the 1K13 telescopic sight ( beam rider method ). The laser guide beam represents a modulated and coded bundle of individual beams which together form a coordinate system that can be read by the guided missile, with the help of which the steering corrections are calculated in the guided missile. The rocket covers a distance of 4000 m in about 12 seconds. The missile's warhead consists of a hollow or tandem charge .
