Bastion.

This is coolbert:

Crude but effective, cheap and dirty, new wine in an old bottle?

Any devoted and knowledgeable reader to the blog have a handle on this? I personally am unable to determine yea or nay!

The Soviet era KS-19 anti-aircraft artillery weapons system capable of chambering and firing an anti-tank guided-missile of the Bastion family ATGM?

"The Bastion was developed firstly as a relatively cheap missile [ATGM] fired from towed MT-12 100 mm smoothbore anti-tank guns. The 9M117 missile was part of the 3UBK10 round and the whole weapon system was designated 9K116 Kastet. A laser guidance device was seated on a tripod next to the gun."

"The 100 mm [Bastion] round resembles a normal 100 mm anti-tank round, and is loaded and fired in the same fashion. The round uses a reduced explosive charge to launch the projectile out of the barrel of the gun at around 400 to 500 m/s. After leaving the gun barrel, a small cover falls away from the window on the rear of the missile. The rocket motor ignites 1.5 seconds after firing the missile, and it burns for 6 seconds."

Bastion type ATGM can be fired from the main gun of the T-55 tank and the BMP-3 armored fighting vehicle. A KS-19 too?

Bastion type ATGM the range of the laser-guided missile beyond that of the main gun of Russian main-battle tanks. Ukrainian KS-19 using Bastion when massed in a stop-line defensive posture handily able to prevent a Russian breakthrough offensive in the World War Two classical style.
