A screengrab showing the LMUR missile carried by the Mi-28NM attack helicopter.
Russian attack helicopters struck 18 targets of Kiev forces using the Lightweight Multifunction Missile (LMUR), which is also known as the Izdeliye 305, during April.
Videos showing the pinpoint missile strikes were released by different Russian news sources between the 1st and 26th of the month.
Six of the strikes targeted positions of Kiev forces, including one where an unidentified air defense system was hidden, in the settlement of Malynivka and its outskirts in the Zaporozhye direction.
Ten other strikes hit four hangares in the settlement of Odradokamianka as well as two positions in the settlement of Lvove and four others near the settlements of Sadove, Havrylivka, Tiahynka and Ivanivka in the Kherson direction.
The two remaining strikes targeted a position in the settlement of Makiivka in the Donetsk direction and a tower equipped with a Starlink terminal and other communication systems in the settlement of Cherneshchyna in the Kharkiv direction.
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 more than two years ago with much success. The number of documented strikes increased in the last few months.

fk u clown idiot, it is on yur end with yur shit browser and os. fix yur own shit, normal people have no problem…
looks like ukraine air defense is caput. bring on the fab-3000s. odessa is russia.
the war in ukraine was over months ago, however, countries such the uk and us didn’t allow ukraine to make peace deal with russia. that should tell you everything you need to know about this war.
at this point russian side winning and only winning. again, the us eases sanctions on 10 largest russian banks… they are force to remove sanction on russia (to some level now).
i think it would be best for the new world order if the war in ukraine continues. it keeps genocidal zionist war criminals and their treasonous israel-first slaves in the u.s. government and in the u.s. military off balance.
you are just gey or is there any other urge you follow?
