The new Russian soloist rocket combines the possibilities of drone and PTRK (video)

The rocket was designed by KEMZ experts (Kislar Electromechanical Plant) and is a hybrid tactical system that combines the functions of anti -tank controlled rocket (PTKR) and unmanned aircraft (UAV). According to Russian sources, the "soloist" has already been deployed in limited quantities to evaluate combat characteristics in the occupied Donetsk region.

According to Stanislav Georkyana, Director General of the Rivir Center, who is responsible for the integration of civilian technologies into military development, successful tests can lead to mass production of a missile with a volume of up to 2,000 units per month. The soloist rocket is designed to perform tactical tasks.

According to the developers, its main advantage is the combination of indirect fire with the possibility of adjusting the trajectory, which allows to impress targets by shelters and in difficult positions. Unlike standard anti -tank complexes that require direct visibility and mortars with a fixed trajectory, "soloist" is managed by the operator throughout the flight and is able to change the trajectory in real time.

The main technical characteristics: the launch is carried out at a large angle, similar to the mortar, after which the rocket goes into the phase of the controlled flight. Management is carried out by the operator through the FPV-glasses and the remote control, which allows to adjust the trajectory and bring a projectile to the target.

Soloist ammunition is equipped with variable warheads of families PG-7 and PG-9, compatible with RPG-7 and LNG-9 grenade launchers, providing the universality of the system. That is, the rocket can be equipped with cumulative warheads for the defeat of armored targets, fragile-fugitives to combat living power and thermobaric charges to destroy the fortifications. The rocket allegedly demonstrates resistance to radio electronic agents.
