AT-2 SWATTER Antitank Guided Missile
The 3K11 Falanga (AT-2 SWATTER) is a radio-guided ATGM with a HEAT warhead. The missile exists in three versions, designated A, B, and C. The A and B versions differ in weight They both use manual command-to-line-of-sight (MCLOS) guidance. However, the AT-2c SWATTER C has semiautomatic command-to-line-of-sight (SACLOS) guidance. The SWATTER is mounted on BRDM/BRDM-2 scout vehicles with four launch rails on a traversable mount. When the launcher is raised for firing, armor plates on the BRDM move to the sides, while the launcher on the BRDM-2 attaches to the underside of a flat, retractable, armored cover. The Mi-8T/HIP E can mount two SWATTERs above each of its two external weapons racks. The Mi-24/HIND A and D mount two SWATTERs on wingtip launch rails on each of their two stub wings. The SWATTER A can engage targets at ranges between 500 and 2,500 meters. SWATTER B and C have maximum ranges of 3,500 and 4,000 meters, respectively. Armor penetration capability is over 500 millimeters, and the probability of first-round hit is 67 percent for SWATTER A and B and over 90 percent for the SWATTER C.
