The "Vs" could carry four of these ATGMs on the tail pylons as standard, and if appropriate adapters for 2 ATGMs under 2 hinges were used, this number could be increased to 8. The combat missile is concealed in a protective container until fired, which can be seen in the photo.
Guidance: radio-controlled from the forward operator's station using the Raduga system. Estimated average hit rate of approx. 80%.
Range: 400-5 000 m
TTD: Length - 1 630 mm, missile diameter - 130 mm, weight 35 kg.
The projectile flies to the target at supersonic speed after launch, which shortens the
This reduces the helicopter's time in the threatened zone to a maximum of 15 seconds at the longest possible effective range (this time was up to twice as long with the older Falanga).
