Type
Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM)
Mission
The anti-tank long-range guided missile system BARYER, a design by the Kyiv-based State Design Bureau Luch, is intended to defeat armored targets at distances from 100 to 5,000 meters.
Manufacturer
Luchs Design Bureau
Length
1.27 m
Diameter
0.13m
Weight
16 kg
Warhead Type
The missiles can be fitted with a tandem HEAT warhead or a HE fragmentation warhead with percussion core penetration.
Guidance System
The BARYER missile employs semiautomatic laser (SAL) guidance to enable the target, after being designated and lock-on, to be tracked automatically without further operator’s intervention (no man-in-the-loop scheme). For tracking the target, the operator employs a telescope sight, with the missile in flight being controlled and guided from a ground fi ring post. The target is designated and locked on using an optical tracker and a thermal-imaging sight, which allows 24-h operation in all weathers.
Penetration
The missile defeats armored infantry fighting vehicle (AIFV) protection systems of all kinds – be it a composite armor, active protection system, spaced armor or explosive reactive armor (ERA), and is capable of penetrating 800mm of Rolled Homogenous Armor (RHA) behind ERA.
