new aviation the “Armor-piercer” missile is capable of breaking through barriers facing targets without collapsing, reports RIA News a message from Vladimir Lepin, general director of the Tekhmash concern.
The peculiarity of the C-8 OFP is that the rocket, depending on the settings of the fuse, can explode in front of the barrier, when it hits the barrier and beyond the barrier, piercing it and not collapsing. We had no such missiles yet,
told the CEO in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
