Russian attack helicopters continue to strike Kiev forces using the Lightweight Multifunction Missile (LMUR), which is also known as the Izdeliye 305.
Videos showings six strikes with the advanced missiles were released by different Russian news sources between February 4 and 28.
Four of the LMUR strikes targeted Ukrainian positions in the settlement of Malinovka in the Zaporozhie region. One of the targeted positions was being used by Kiev forces as a communication center. A Starlinke satellite internet terminal was installed in the position.
The two other strikes targeted a Ukrainian field command and control center in the settlement of Tonenkoye and an advance position of Kiev forces to the east of the settlement of Opytne in the Donetsk region.
The LMUR was especially developed by the Kolomna Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering for the upgraded Mi-28NM and Ka-52M attack helicopters. It can also be launched from Mi-8MNP-2 special forces helicopters.
The missile is equipped with an GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system, an optical thermal imaging homing seeker and a two-way secured data-link. The maximum range of the missile is said to be around 15 kilometers. It is armed with a high-explosive warhead weighing 25 kg.
The LMUR can be used in two different modes. In the first one, the target is marked by the operator before launch, and the carrier helicopter can turn away directly after the missile launch.
In the second mode, the missile is launched without it being locked on a target. It first flies in its direction, using inertial guidance with satellite navigation providing corrections. The image from the seeker is transmitted back to the helicopter via a data-link system, dubbed the AS-BPLA. The operator can select the target and change it while the missile is flying towards its area.
Russian attack helicopters have been using LMUR missiles against Kiev forces since the start of the special operation in Ukraine with much success.
