In Rostec clarified the terms of the adoption of "Armor striker"

The state tests of the airborne missile “Broneboyshchik” are almost completed, this year the issue of adopting it for service will be decided, Interfax a message from the general director of the Techmash concern (part of Rostec), Alexander Kochkin.

According to Kochkin, flight tests have been completed, and documentation is currently underway. The final decision on the adoption of a rocket into service is expected later this year.

If the decision is positive, then the experimental party “Armor” will go to the troops next year. Then the customer (the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation) will make the final decision on the purchase, the general director said.

Earlier it was reported that the newest rocket C-8OFP "Broneboyschik" is designed for use with airplanes and helicopters (Su-24 / 25, MiG-29, Mi-28 and others). Intended to defeat light armored vehicles and surface ships at a distance of 6 km. Its peculiarity is that, depending on the task, it may explode when hitting the barrier, in front of it or behind the barrier.

C-8OFP should complement the C-8 family of unguided rockets. The new ammunition has the same caliber (80 mm) and configuration, but its power exceeds the power of the predecessor 5-6 times.

The test launches of the “Armored Worker” were conducted from a Mi-35M helicopter.

Uncontrollable again? Shooting "point-blank" with an uncertain hit probability ...

[Jerk]

6 km is "point blank" And the "undefined probability of hitting" only if the hands are crooked. For a moving target there are controllable ones, and spending an ATGM on a penny dugout or equipment on a hitch is either unprofessional or idiocy.

[voyaka uh]

The dugout is by no means a penny. Moreover - the technique is funny. These goals must be hit carefully - with one rocket. And not a pack of NURs.
Attack helicopter - a very expensive and very vulnerable combat vehicle. And equipping it with inaccurate cheap weapons is unreasonable.

For these purposes, high-explosive throws bombs, and you can’t even scare them with one rocket.

[Alex777]

Do you have any precise information that the Armor-Piercer is an inaccurate missile? I doubt it.

[voyaka uh]

I just read the article:
"S-8OFP should complement the S-8 unguided missile family"

[Jerk]

The dugout is a penny building made of homna and branches, built for example from logs using a shovel and two rams from a construction battalion. Or from concrete and formwork using the same shovel, mix concrete and the same rams from the construction battalion.
And how much is a guided missile?
Do not be you Krylov - some kind of crooked fables. And it makes no sense to hit "neatly" on vehicles that are "neat" - such vehicles never stand near random objects;

[Alexey-74]

When during a frontal attack of the enemy in the forehead, such NURSES arrive at his position (trench lines, dugouts and other engineering structures), or a large column of armored vehicles with enemy manpower is covered, TEST - THIS IS VERY EFFECTIVE AND CHECKED !!!

It's just facepalm
And it was necessary to hang a turboplasma disintegrator?))

Probably the magnitude of the hit is offset by the magnitude of the lesion.

You are obsessed with guided bombs, these missiles strike in one gulp, usually against area targets.
There was a motorized rifle company on the march - and, there is no company on the march.

[voyaka uh]

We switched to precise weapons. And they came to the conclusion that it - by the sum of the total consumption of ammunition - is cheaper than inaccurate. The motorized rifle company on the march does not go with a dense crowd, but with two narrow columns with large intervals between the soldiers.

So after all, you can hit a couple, and a link of planes, and the fire will be very dense, no narrow columns with a large interval will help. They just plow everything and everything.

[voyaka uh]

Nobody does that. 3/4 of the ammunition will be net misses. Especially the link. At the first explosion from the very first aircraft, the infantry kicks up. You live the last century and do not want to leave it. If you don’t switch to precise weapons, a little green one will come ..
This is a very friendly tip.

[Beholder]

I'd like to see your battalion, regiment, division on the march ... "in two narrow columns with large intervals between the soldiers." Can you throw off links to photos or videos?

Yes, because your opponents are bearded in slippers. And this is a weapon for war with real armies. :)

And which one is better in the end, not controlled by an armor-striker or not controlled, from countermeasures, Spike and Helfaer?

[voyaka uh]

Better definitely one that gets more accurately and from a greater distance.
This applies to ANY weapon.

[KVU-NSVD]

Gee, plus just for the record of comments on the place taken, I wanted to joke and quote, but that would be a complete perversion ..

[Yrec]

5-6 times more power with the same size !!!!? What is it like? Following in the footsteps of British scientists with their new laws of physics?

For example, a new BB + improved detonator

[Yrec]

The increase is possible by tens of percent, but not by hundreds.

[2329 Carpenter]

Yeah ... You can compare: black powder 17th century. and (what?) C4 of the 20th century.

It is better to compare black gunpowder with a thermonuclear explosion, n-e-e, an increase of several hundred percent is not possible

It would be nice to look at her in action! And so, of course, the news is great!

I agree, this approach to saving money is not clear to me! Again, boys flattery under enemy fire, instead of shooting and forgetting.

[Thunderbolt]

its power exceeds the power of its predecessor by 5-6 times.

How can this power be achieved?

[2329 Carpenter]

By science, Watson ...
Chemistry, physics, mathematics.
Fizra - as the basis)).

A motorized rifle, not an infantry company, you carefully understood the difference between the MSR and the cf. It seems to me that the IDF is on BMPs, armored personnel carriers, MTLBs, cars, is that what you wrote more about Wed or so on. Or, in the victorious IDF, equipment is tied to a soldier and they drag it in narrow columns around the country?

[uav80]

I didn’t understand, here are excerpts from an article from January 2015:
An 80-millimeter S-80FP missile with a high-explosive penetrating warhead presented by the Tula research and production association “Fusion” at the DEFEXPO India exhibition in February 2014, began to be delivered to the Russian Armed Forces. This was announced by the Director General of the enterprise Nikolay Makarovets.
