Potential and capabilities of the self-propelled ATGM "Sturm-S"

The Sturm-S combat vehicle participating in the Special Operation leaves a camouflaged position

Several decades ago, the 9K114 Shturm-S self-propelled anti-tank missile system was adopted by the Soviet army. Having undergone several modernizations and received a number of improvements, it remains in service and is actively used by our ground forces. Thanks to standard ground equipment with wide capabilities and a set of missiles with high performance, this complex is capable of hitting a wide range of targets of varying degrees of complexity.

The complex and its development

History The self-propelled ATGM of the ground forces 9K114 "Sturm-S" dates back to the early seventies, when in the Kolomna Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau under the leadership of S.P. Invincible, the development of a promising rocket for various platforms has begun. As a result of these works, in 1976 the Air Force adopted the Shturm-V helicopter complex, and three years later the ground forces received the self-propelled 9K114 Shturm-S. Subsequently, this ATGM became one of the main examples of its class in our army.

The first major modernization of this product was carried out in the mid-nineties and provided for the replacement of the existing 9M114 Cocoon missile. Its result was the new 9M120 Ataka missile with improved characteristics, which was put into service in 1996. Later it was also modernized, and now we are talking about a whole line of Atakas.

Launcher ready to fire

The latest modernization of the Sturm was carried out at the beginning of the 2014s. As a result, in 9, our army’s fleet of equipment was replenished with the new 132KXNUMX Shturm-SM ATGM. There is also an export modification with the letters “SME”.

Self-propelled ATGMs of the "Sturm" family were actively used by our army both in training grounds and in real military operations. Right now, the Sturmov crews are carrying out combat missions during the Special Operation to protect Donbass. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Sturm and Ataka missiles are used against various targets - armored vehicles, buildings and other objects. At the same time, the calculations demonstrate training and skills, and the technology confirms the declared characteristics and capabilities.

Technical features

The 9K114 Shturm-S self-propelled ATGM and its modifications are built on the MT-LB tracked chassis. This vehicle has an armored hull and protects the crew and units from small arms bullets. weapons and fragments. Provides high mobility, maneuverability and maneuverability in different terrain. In addition, such a chassis is widely used in our army, which simplifies its operation and maintenance.

In the bow of the hull of the 9P149 combat vehicle there is a control compartment with workstations for the driver and commander-operator with their own hatches in the roof. Missile guidance and control means are located outside the commander’s seat. The main volume of the hull is dedicated to the fighting compartment, which contains a lifting launcher and a revolving ammunition rack for missiles. Preparation for launch and firing are carried out by remote-controlled mechanisms. Crew participation is required only when reloading the stowage.

Rocket launch

To search and track a target, the Shturm-S ATGM included an optical device. In the Shturm-SM project it was replaced by a new device with day and night channels. Guidance is semi-automatic radio command. The operator keeps the aiming mark on the target, while the automation monitors the missile and guides it along the line of sight. In early modifications, commands were transmitted to the rocket via a narrowly directed radio beam. The modern "Sturm-SM" also has a laser-beam control system.

The 9K114 complex uses the 9M114 missile. This is a solid propellant guided munition with a length of approx. 1,8 m with a caliber of 130 mm (excluding deployable planes). Starting weight – 31,4 kg. The missile is delivered in a sealed transport and launch container, in which it is placed in a 12-seat stowage compartment of the fighting compartment and fed to the launcher.

In flight, the rocket reaches a speed of up to 510 m/s with an average speed of no more than 400 m/s. Maximum range – 5 km. Guidance is carried out according to automatic control commands; Only the receiver and actuators are on board the rocket. To hit a target, a 5,4-kg cumulative warhead with a 2,4-kg explosive charge is used, penetrating 560 mm of homogeneous armor. A high-explosive fragmentation warhead of similar mass was also developed.

The upgraded 9M114M missile is not fundamentally different from the base product, but is 2 kg heavier. It uses a reinforced warhead with penetration of at least 720 mm.

Rotary ammunition stowage and folded launcher

The 9M120 and 9M120M "Attack" missiles are made in the same size and have similar weight characteristics. At the same time, the new engine made it possible to increase the maximum launch range to 6-8 km for various modifications. A tandem cumulative warhead was introduced. The warhead of the 9M120 missile penetrates 800 mm of armor behind dynamic protection, 9M120M - 950 mm. The possibility of using high-explosive fragmentation warheads has been retained and a thermobaric one has been created.

The 9M120-1 series missiles were created for the Shturm-SM ATGM. They are distinguished by an improved design and have an additional guidance system based on a laser beam.

By typical goals

The self-propelled ATGM "Sturm-S" is designed to destroy a wide range of mobile and moving (speed up to 60-80 km/h depending on the angle) ground targets, such as concentrations of manpower, unprotected and armored vehicles, buildings and fortifications. It also provides for shooting at low-flying helicopters.

Commander's optical device

As part of the current Special Operation, “Sturmov” crews are dealing with almost the entire range of intended targets and in practice confirm the ability of the complex to hit them. In general, such results of combat use are predictable and understandable already at the level of studying the enemy’s equipment and other equipment.

Ukrainian formations still have Soviet-made equipment, such as armored personnel carriers or older model infantry fighting vehicles. In addition, the same or similar samples, or equipment of similar classes, were supplied by foreign countries. Light and medium armored vehicles with only bulletproof/fragmentation-proof armor do not pose a particular challenge to the Sturm-S or other modern ATGMs. The cumulative warhead easily penetrates their defenses from all angles and hits internal components. In addition, the charge has a sufficient high-explosive effect to cause additional damage to the target’s external units.

The situation is similar with various buildings, structures and some field fortifications. Standard cumulative warheads "Cocoon" or "Attack" are capable of penetrating ordinary and fortified buildings. A high-explosive fragmentation warhead also causes serious damage to both the building and the manpower inside it.

The enemy has Tanks and other heavily armored vehicles of a number of models, both Soviet and NATO models. Such targets are not simple, but a trained crew using later modifications of missiles can cope with them. At the same time, the high potential of cumulative combat units, unitary and tandem, is being demonstrated.

Loading ammunition into a combat vehicle

Judging by the available materials, older types of tanks are successfully hit in any projection. Accurate information about the defeat of modern Leopard 2 or Challenger 2 MBTs by Sturm missiles is not yet available, but it is precisely this information that is of the greatest interest. It can be assumed that such targets will be successfully hit from the side or rear corners. It is probably possible to break through frontal barriers, but data on this matter have not yet been received.

In addition, we should expect the appearance of American M1A1SA Abrams on the battlefield, as well as the results of their firing with 9M114 or 9M120 missiles. Considering the design features of this technology, one can expect the same results as with European tanks. At the same time, damage to the frontal projection, which has weakened zones, looks quite possible and probable.

Staying relevant

The Sturm anti-tank missile system for various platforms was created half a century ago using technologies and developments of that time. At the same time, the design of the missile and ground-based anti-tank systems contained great potential, which made it possible to obtain high technical characteristics and the possibility of further upgrades. The design was updated several times, and just a few years ago another modification of the complex appeared, “Sturm-SM” with modified “Ataka” missiles.

Despite the considerable age of the basic design, modern versions of the 9K114 and 9K132 ATGMs show high performance and cope with assigned combat missions. The Sturmov crews have a large number of different armored vehicles and fortifications in their combat account. At the same time, the complexes of the “Sturm” line are not the only ones of their kind. The newer “Chrysanthemums”, “Cornets”, etc. are in service. with a different level of characteristics and additional benefits.

Comments

[Magic archer]

The main question is: Why do we still have such a wide range of missiles!? For example. Ka 52 and Mi 28 use THEIR OWN birds. Why is there still no standard container launcher for launching all types of anti-tank guided missiles!? I'm not talking about easy and hard classes. Unification solves the problem. Run out of some, use others! Why has this happened with us for a long time? That the tanks made different KBs, as a result, the ones in service at one time were from T 62 to T 90. Combat helicopters, two! I won’t say anything about the anti-ship missile system and the fleet in general, the devil himself will break his leg there. If in the West they try to fit it into a common standard, then with us it’s exactly the opposite. I would be glad to hear the opinions of other VO readers

[Aviator_]

That the tanks made different KBs, as a result, the ones in service at one time were from T 62 to T 90. Combat helicopters, two!

Everything is known about helicopters; the Milevsky lobby pushed through the production of the Mi-28 for no reason. that the Ka-50 won the competition against him. This is the late USSR.

[abc_alex]

There is no need to mislead people. There is no “Mile lobby” in nature. Apart from Mil’s undeniable authority in matters of helicopters for the ground army. And Kamov failed the competition miserably. Kamovites were unable to create either an automatic target search system or an automatic piloting system. And without both, their single-seat concept was not even close to a combat vehicle. Aircraft - yes. With specific performance characteristics - yes. But even at the training ground in an unfamiliar target environment, the Ka-50 could not perform basic fighting tasks. Out of despair, the Kamovites even proposed a frankly crazy idea - to pair the Ka-50 with a reconnaissance helicopter (Ka-60). But even the determined Kamov lobby, which had the power to delay the competition for years, could not explain to the Ministry of Defense how miraculously the Ka-50 would be single-seat if it needed three more people on the helicopter for reconnaissance and target designation, and why then would it even need one on board? all this electronics, if he himself cannot see the target. But even after it was clear to everyone that Kamov’s car did not work out, the Kamov lobby did not allow the competition to be completed. The MI-28N was already flying with a night targeting channel, but the Kamovites still did not allow it to be accepted into service, trying to push it through the “left door” of their stillborn cadaver. As a result, the military gave an ultimatum to them to make a “Mi-28 in a coaxial design.” And they were right, since the Ka-52 turned out to be a decent machine, although inferior in combat capabilities to the Mi-28, but with undeniable advantages.
Now the Mil cooperation has created the Mi-28M, the sighting system of which is built around a radar, not an OLS, and, I think in 5 years and on the KA-52, the radar in the nose will no longer be a “cool gadget”, but will become part of the weapons system.

[Aviator_]

The MI-28N has already flown with a night targeting channel,

Did he somehow prove himself in Chechnya? And the Ka-50 showed it.

[JD1979]

Another sectarian mile)) I haven’t read such comments for a long time)). Just nostalgia. How can Kamov’s helicopters destroy the “tadpole” and undermine the butts)). True, for some reason I forget to say that 28 was and is the most problematic helicopter in terms of bringing it to a sane state, for which the Mil Design Bureau was repeatedly poked by the Moscow Region in one substance)) But the sectarians always have others to blame)) you see the missiles of the wrong system)) and they don’t know how to fly))) why lie so openly?)) If the Ka-52 had “cool stuff” initially, then how many years later did at least a model on the sleeve appear on the tadpole? How many years did it take for 28 to change from daytime to nighttime? Again the Kamovites didn’t let me work?))

[abc_alex]

Well, unlike you, I have first-hand information. And if Mil “The Mil design bureau was poked by the Moscow Region into one substance,” then the Kamov design bureau both floated and floats in this substance. You can even kill your head on the screen here, but the fact remains: the Mi-28 is in the army. And the Ka-50 is in the museum. And the Ka-52 is not the new Ka-50, but a Mi-28 in a coaxial design.
Damn, is this a radar? I can tell you when it appeared. The story here is no secret. The first Mi-28 with it was shown in 2003 at MAKS. You, as a “Kamov sectarian,” should know that this was 5 years before the first experimental Ka-2008 with an experimental “Crossbow” on board took off in 52.
The radar on the Mi-28 was “foreign” at that time. The reason here is also no secret. In the late 90s, Phazotron was given the task of making a radar for an attack helicopter. And specifically for the Mi-28. But not for the Ka-50. A serial plant was even identified: OJSC State Ryazan Instrument Plant. But Phazotron’s management made a “feint with their ears.” Instead of one helicopter, they made a radar for another. It was so convenient for him. The new radar was based on the radar for the MiG-27 "Spear", hence the name "Crossbow".

When searching for a name for the new radar complex, we took into account two features. First: the radar previously created by Yuri Guskov, which can be considered the predecessor of the new complex, was called “Spear”. The next point: the radar developed for the American attack helicopter AH-64D Apache was named Longbow, translated into Russian as “Long Bow”.
from an interview with the head of Phazotron’s department for the creation of helicopter radars, Viktor KUSTOV, “Red Star”, March 5, 2008.

But they refused to make a radar for the Mi-28, and the reason is simple. Phazotron did not know how and did not want to spend money on combating the vibrations inherent in over-hub antennas. To put it simply, the Phazotron followed the line of least resistance.
The Ryazan plant waited for some time, but realizing that it would not receive anything from Phazotron, in 2004 it decided to create the radar itself. And did. In 2007, the first versions of the H025 radar were installed on helicopters. Wash yourself with your tears: the standard radar on the Mi-28 appeared a year earlier than that on the Ka-52.
The N025 radar was not problem-free and was being developed until 2011. In particular, the problem of vibration was solved. But in 2012, a pre-production version appeared, ready for full interdepartmental testing. Around the same time, work began on a new version of the Mi-28. So that the radar on it would not be the same stupid rattle as on the Ka-52, but would give the helicopter new capabilities. After all, OLS and Ka-52 and Mi-28N do not allow them to fight at distances of more than 5-7 kilometers. And the radar makes it possible to increase this distance at least twice. But this requires a new PNK and new weapons. Otherwise, the helicopter will fly like the Ka-52 with packs of NURS and shoot them beautifully across squares in the MI-8 style...

[JD1979]

Ahah, yes... I haven’t read something like this for a long time and haven’t seen when the “throwing on the fan” becomes windward))) Well, if you’ve wiped yourself off, then I’ll “dunk” a little more))

Well, if only someone is still trying to surpass it))) Well, to catch up: the Ka-50, unlike the early Mi-28, managed to successfully register in combat)) And now it’s in the museum, and the Mi-28 is now his successor Ka-52 is fighting)

Yeah, yes, they took one Mi-28 one after another, stuck the second screw on top and processed it with a file)) That’s what all the Milevians are all about))

As a person who is interested in aviation and can at the same time look from the outside)) I know what you are tactfully lying about)) There was a Chupa Chups wrapper on the MAX)) that is, an empty radar fairing)) but the Mil sectarians stubbornly hide it for some reason. And so, in 2008, the SECOND built copy of the Ka-52 took off and immediately from the radar)) And when did the Mi-28NM flights with radar begin? Can you tell me?))

Sick, while only you wash your face with tears)) As everyone knows except you, as I wrote above, the Kamov team only had a board for testing RSL in 2008)) And what did Mil do for more than 20 years?)) And in 2011 the Ka-52 was already that's it)) completed all the tests as a whole while you were fine-tuning the radar. Well, if the first production 52x were delivered in full mince in 2012, i.e. with radars and night vision devices, then in what year did the Mi-28s with radar and dual control start?

After all, OLS and Ka-52 and Mi-28N do not allow them to fight at distances of more than 5-7 kilometers.

Vasya Vasya.. OLS, if you were really there, first hand, it has and can have a range many times higher. But our range of destruction primarily suffers due to defective ATGMs

Quote: abc_alex

so go and look)) your Mi-28 does exactly that)) Therefore, the Ka-52 does the main work.

[garri-lin]

No need to look west. They have precedents when quite different samples are used under the same name. VERY DIFFERENT AND NON-INTERCHANGEABLE

[abc_alex]

Oh no. What strange things Kamov did during the competition is one of the historical oddities. Mil immediately equipped the Mi-28 Sturm-V. Using the 9M120 Attack missile. After the military got tired of Kamov’s overshoots, they demanded that the Ka-52 be transferred to the use of Ataka. Since at that time KBM was already offering Attack as part of the interspecific Sturm complexes for helicopters, self-propelled ATGMs and boats, equipping the missile with different warheads and offering options with a range of up to 10 km. But Kamov refused to install Sturm on the Ka-50 and Ka-52. With the tenacity of a drunken man, counting on the Whirlwind. The Tula people screwed up the Whirlwind and its prospects are very vague. Not to say that he has no prospects.
In the process of working on the Mi-28M, the Milevites also installed the Khrysanthem-S missile on the Helicopter. So the Mi-28 is completely unified in missile weapons with ground units. Even his self-defense weapons are based on the Strela MANPADS.
Why does the Ka-52 fly with the Whirlwind? Well, of course, with us he’s all so “unique” and “unsurpassed”, “ahead of his time” and also “in the cinema”. Journalists will explain to you that they succeed even where there is no logic at all.

There is no standard container because the missiles have different calibers. And overall dimensions. And since the Attack was made for helicopters, and no one needs extra pounds in the air, it would be strange to average it with the 9M123 Chrysanthemum.
And no one needed to do anything for the Whirlwinds. The missile was outdated at the time it was put into service and has no prospects.

I don’t know how it is with tanks, but with helicopters everything is quite prosaic. Kamov Design Bureau at that time was in the trap of low-volume production. The fleet, even in the USSR, was a bad customer. While making excellent aircraft, the design bureau could not find partners willing to equip them with additional equipment. And in the light of the impending transition of carrier-based aviation to airplanes, everything looked very sour. So they grabbed the 28/50 competition with a doomed grip. And from the point of view of state logic, giving them a place in the troops was correct. Although KB is not successful, at least it lives. And if he didn’t have the Ka-52, it would have long ago repeated the fate of the same Yakovlev Design Bureau...

Well, based on the results of the SVO, Mil may well be left without a drummer. Because why do we need another helicopter, only worse). Especially considering the speed of modernization work that is being carried out at Kamov)) As I understand it, they did not report first-hand about the Ka-52M?))

[Zaurbek]

It is necessary to reduce the range of similar ATGMs and be sure to introduce ATGMs with a HE warhead and, perhaps, with the ability to shoot at coordinates

[vovochkarzhevsky]

and be sure to introduce an ATGM with a HE warhead

They introduced it back in the days of Afghanistan.

[abc_alex]

The attack has had everything for a long time.

[Max1984]

in my subjective opinion, our approach to such complexes is wrong, the best ATGM in my opinion is the German Wiesel, it is better primarily because of its dimensions, length 3.25 width 1.8 height 1.5, that is, smaller in size than Niva, weight 3.5 tons tracked and armored, our complexes are unsuccessful because of the chassis, they are too large and bulky, for an ATGM it is important to be able to hide behind any bush in any ravine or barn, so that the crew can camouflage it on their own and, moreover, quickly, this is an ambush technique, and MTLB and chassis BMP3 (from Chrysanthemum) are too bulky for this....

Why bury it? Have you decided to fight head-on with tanks? Our heavy ATGMs fire under the horizon at such a distance, even tank guns cannot reach them. The Wiesel is armed with a TOU and has a range of 3-4,5 km. Its ammunition load is 2 missiles. Armor? Excuse me, is 8mm armor? Protection against bullets and fragments of medium-caliber shells. The BMP-3 Chrysanthemum base has 18 mm and holds a 30 mm projectile in the forehead and 12,7 in the sides.
The BMP-3 is, of course, larger, but try to see it from 5 kilometers away through a tank sight. And Chrysanthemum will see the tank thanks to a guidance system based on a full-fledged OLS.
And don’t forget, the Wiesel is a landing vehicle, where everything is sacrificed to reduce weight. Including, for example, maneuverability and buoyancy. In fact, this is a wedge heel, but the concept of a wedge heel did not justify itself...

[Max1984]

what nonsense, you are depicting a duel in the desert where tanks are driving towards the Chrysanthemums standing opposite them and they, taking advantage of the advantage in range, shoot the tanks, victory!! Hurray!!, in reality, before sending tanks, reconnaissance is always carried out, and all tank-dangerous targets are destroyed in advance and they always try to hide and camouflage any ATGM, be it portable or on something riding, and now drones have also appeared with which your armor is 18 mm to one place, besides, the Sturm based on MTLB has the same 8 mm as Wiesel but at the same time a much larger target, and who told you that Wiesel has poor maneuverability? According to the video, this is a very nimble car that rushes around the intersection like a buggy, it may not know how to swim, and okay, it’s not the most important thing for an ATGM...

[air wolf]

The car is good, but it’s really better to remake the T-55M for Attack or Assault with dynamic protection and (or) mounted composite armor with a thicker layer...
