9P149 is a lightly armored combat vehicle of Soviet production based on MT-LB , which was converted into an anti-tank missile system with anti-tank guided weapons 9K114 Schturm and 9K120 Ataka .

development

The development of a motorized version of the 9K114 Shturm missile defense system began in the 1970s in the KBM design office in Kolomna . Development tests ended in 1978, after which the system was inducted into the army in 1979. On June 30, 2014, the modernized version with the internal designation 9K132 or 9P149M, with the anti-tank missiles 9K120 Ataka of various modifications, was accepted into the Russian army. The vehicle has recently u. a. via a target acquisition system with television and thermal imaging cameras, a laser range finder and a radio transmission channel for missile control.

description

The battle vehicle 9P149 is a lightly armored version of the MT-LB troop transport. This version is u. a. Equipped with protective mechanisms against the effects of weapons of mass destruction , which is why a filter or ventilation system and other means against chemical and radioactive pollution to protect the crew were integrated into the vehicle.

Tub

The lightly armored hull offers protection against projectiles of smaller caliber. In the interior, the anti-tank missiles are stored in the containers of a rotating drum.

Armament

The main armament consists of 12 130 mm launch containers with a total of 12 steerable anti-tank missiles 9K114 Schturm or 9K120 Ataka. The missiles are sighted in two planes, new missiles are loaded automatically, which is why the rate of fire is 3–4 rounds per minute. During the journey, the launching system for the missiles is automatically stowed in the fuselage. The horizontal angle for aiming is between −85 and +85 degrees, the vertical between −5 and +15 degrees. During the combat state, the missile system is in automatic mode. After the rocket has fired, the now empty transport container of the rocket is ejected and a new transport container with a rocket is carried out of the drum for firing. An optical system is installed on the fuselage, which ensures automatic target tracking of the targeted object. The target object can be up to a speed of 80 km / h in frontal and up to 60 km / h in lateral movement to the range finder.

The combat vehicle is able to fire at armored vehicles from a distance of 400 to 5000 and 6000 meters, respectively, with the help of the 9K114 Shturm and 9K120 Ataka anti-tank missiles. The armor-piercing ammunition of the 9K114 Shturm can penetrate armor up to a maximum of 800 mm behind the reactive armor , while the 9K120 Ataka can penetrate armor between 800 and 950 mm behind the reactive armor.
