Motiv-3M combat munitions used against the Ukrainian Armed Forces' military equipment near Avdeevka

Motiv-3M combat munitions used against the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ military equipment near Avdeevka. How they work: Analysis by Military Chronicles: On November 7, a video appeared showing the use, presumably, of Motiv-3M munitions, developed by NPO Basalt, against the Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in Avdeevka. These combat elements are used as part of 9M55K1 MLRS “Smerch“ rockets, 9M544 MLRS “Tornado-S“ guided missiles, as well as RBK-500 aerial bombs. The Motiv-3M could also be delivered to the target by the PBK-500U Drel (Drill) glide bomb. When dropped from a height of 14 km at a speed of about 1100 km/h, the Drel can deliver a cluster warhead containing these munitions over a distance of 30-35 km. How do Motiv-3M combat elements work? Self-targeting cluster munitions “Motiv-3M“ are equipped with infrared sensors for targeting the thermal signature of targets and powerful cumulative warheads with a penetration of 70-110 mm (depending on the angle of contact with the target). During a parachute descent at a speed of 17 m/s, the inclined rectangular wings rotate the Motiva-3M infrared direction finder, scanning surfaces for the presence of a target. The detonation of the warhead in the direction of the target occurs at an altitude of about 150 m. The destruction is carried out in the most vulnerable upper projection. #Source Источник: Slavyangrad
