Engineering:Shershen-L
Shershen-L - Light Antitank Guided Missile System is intended for defeat of stationary and moving modern armored targets with combined, distributed or solid armor, including ERA, as well as small-sized targets, like pillbox, tank in trench, light armored objects and helicopters.
At the beginning, “Shershen-L” ATGM System was designed for launching of missile and aiming to the target without support for launcher (from shoulder of the operator). However, the analysis of “Shershen-L” firing trials and practice of combat application of similar light ATGM systems discovered, that launchers with support ensure better firing accuracy. That is why the new variant of “Shershen-L” has been developed in configuration with tripod for launcher plus small-sized control panel for remote control of missile guidance, that guarantees safety of the operator. “Shershen-L” may be also mounted on different types of mobile platform like light armored vehicles, jeeps, baggies, light vessels, etc.
