UNIAN memo. Kvitnyk is a high precision-guided artillery projectile, whose hitting range is 20 km with precision said to be within several centimeters. The projectile can be laser-guided both from a drone or a ground spotter.
The technology allows destroying protected targets, for example, command posts, communications centers, bridges, crossings, strong points and the like.
A total advantage is achieved in counter-battery combat, where enemy artillery is destroyed without a chance of returning fire.
