Description
The control on the trajectory is carried out by aerodynamic rudders with rudder drive due to the energy of the incoming air flow [1] There are versions of a projectile for calibers 120 mm (Kitolov-2) of separate-shotgun loading and 122 mm (Kitolov-2M) of separate-shell loading. For the KM-3 version of Kitolov-2M, the maximum firing range is 12 km. High-explosive fragmentation warhead. Projectile length 1190 mm. The mass of the shot is 28 kg. The explosive mass is 5.3 kg [2] . "Kitolov-2" was adopted in 2002 [3] .
The projectile is used in artillery systems:
- SAO 2S9 (Nona-S), self-propelled guns 2S23 (Nona-SVK) - 120 mm Kitolov-2;
- Howitzer D-30 , SAU 2C1 (Carnation) - 122 mm Kitolov-2M.
There is a version of the ammunition in the form of a mine for a 120-mm mortar called the KM-8 Gran .
The homing head for the Kitolov-2 and Kitolov-2M shells was developed by LOMO OJSC [4] .
