Project Description
Anti tank System 9K111 SU-24 TECHNICAL DETAILS
The system uses a gas generator to push the missile out of the launch tube, which exits from the rear of the launch tube in a manner similar to a recoilless rifle. The missile leaves the launch tube at 80 m/s (180 mph; 290 km/h), and is then quickly accelerated to 186 m/s (420 mph; 670 km/h) by its solid fuel motor. This initial high speed reduces the missile’s deadzone, since it can be launched directly at the target, rather than in an upward arc.
