BOV M-83 anti-tank guided missile carrier with new Malyutka-2 missiles at Partner 2015.
The BOV M83 anti-tank guided missile carrier is showed at Partner 2015 with two new types of upgraded anti-tank guided missiles (ATGW) Malyutka 2. Mounted on the roof of this vehicle is a pod containing six ATGWs.
The self-propelled anti-tank guided missile system M83 is intended for combat against moving and stationary armoured vehicles. The Malyutka missile is able to destroy target from a range of 500 m to 3,000 m in hand guided mode. It can fires the 9M14P1 and 9M14M missiles. It has the ability to automatically to track armoured targets, launch and guided a missile in all weather conditions.
The Malutka anti-tank guided missile system (ATGM) has been in service in a large number of countries for several decades, asserting itself as a reliable weapon in anti-tank combat with manual and semi-automatic guidance. Since this system belongs to the second generation of long range ATGMs, incapable of destruction of modern ERA tanks, and since the service life of these missiles has either already expired or will soon expire, Serbian defence industry have implemented a reliable solution that has improved (terminal efficiency etc.) the characteristcs of the missile and extended its service life (general overhaul).
Serbian defence industry have developed, except basic missile versions 9M14M and 9M14P1, an upgrade anti-tank missile version 9M14P1B1, as well as advanced missile family consisting of MALYUTKA 2T version intended for modern anti-armor combat by neutralization and destruction of main battle tanks and other combat vehicles protected with modern armor configurations and explosive reactive armour, as well as the MALYUTKA 2F version intended for destruction of fortified targets and troops.
Variant 9M14P1B1 is the modified basic missile 9M14P1, whose tip attachment increases penetrability from 460 mm to 600 mm. The main improvements on MALYUTKA 2T and MALYUTKA 2F include a range of new warheads and fuzes, i,.e. improvements on the front of the missile, while the rear part of the missile with a new propellent and overhauled rocket motor parts, fin section and the coil with the micro-cable basically remain unchanged. It is also to be noted that in the MALYUTKA 2F variant, the electronic guidance unit with the pertaining installation, earlier housed in the rear is now integrated in the front part of the missile.
Bumbar short-range portable anti-tank missile highlighted at PARTNER 2015
Officially in service in the Serbian armed forces since 2012, the Bumbar (Bumble-bee) always attracts much attention from visitors and foreign delegations when it is showcased at defense shows. At PARTNER 2015, the Bumbar is particulary highlighted on Serbian army's display. The Bumbar is a short-range portable anti-tank missile system developed and produced by the Serbian company Krusik.
Bumbar guided missile system can be mounted on shoulder or on a tripod, here showcased on Serbian army's booth at PARTNER 2015
The Bumbar is a wire guided, man-portable, short-ranged missile system for use against ground targets. The missile has a soft launch capability - the main motor firing after the missile has left the launcher, which allows for the missile to be fired from confined spaces, which is a necessity in urban warfare. During the flight rocket is maneuvered by unique system of thrust vectoring.
The Bumbar features tandem hollow charge warhead, capable to destroy modern tanks with reactive homogenous armor. It is also equipped with SACLOS guidance (Semi-automatic command to line of sight), improved anti-jamming protection based on sequential frames differential processing, and frequency, time and space discrimination.
Bumbar's launching system and missile on Krusik display at PARTNER 2015
Bumbar guided missile has all terrains fighting capabilities including urban areas, missile can be launched from confined space. The launcher can be shoulder mounted or fitted on a tripod. The weapon has a total weight of 19.8 kg, the tripod and the firing post weight 4 kg each. It has a maximum range of 600 m and a hit probability of 90%.
The missile is propelled by two main rocket motor exhaust vanes located at mid body. As the missile rotates the launch units send signals commanding the correction by one of the two vanes to move against the missile motors thrust. For example if the missile has to move to the left, the right thrust vector vane will actuate at the correct time. The warhead penetration is over 1000 mm RHA behind ERA. The missile has a speed of 18 m/s at launch and 245 m/s at maximum.
The Bumbar missile system is currently being improved in order to increase maximum range up to 1,000 m and with the addition of a laser beam riding.
