Whats the 9N142M? The Bastion 105mm round?
It’s the version of the Invar/AT-11 (in good old 125mm) with the tandem shaped-charge warhead (aka Invar-M). Prior ASIC designation was 9M119M1, can’t say why the change to an ‘N’ designation.

The article basically states that the new 3UBK14F round is based on the 9M119F, and intended primarily for โsoftโ MOUT targets (unlike the shaped-charge anti-armor 9M119 & 9N142M). Max range is 3.1 miles, and the munition is now in production. Despite the poorly-worded bullet point, the article does note that round uses the same semi-automatic laser beam-riding guidance system as the original 9M119 missile.

and I know that this may be slightly off topic) Russian all-up artillery/tank/etc rounds have the “3” as part of the model/drawing/part number; is that a number “3” or is it the Russsian character having the English transliteration of “Zh”?
The APFSDS 3VBM17 round is 3BbM17 in Russian Script, so it is a number 3.

Hello Turboshaft
Following your post on the 3UBK14F, I wonder if you (or anybody) can answer a question that’s been nagging me for a long time? You talk about the Model/Drawing/Part number 3UBK14F in your post; (as a general question, and I know that this may be slightly off topic) Russian all-up artillery/tank/etc rounds have the “3” as part of the model/drawing/part number; is that a number “3” or is it the Russsian character having the English transliteration of “Zh”? (I don’t know any Russian, so I don’t know what that letter is called). I’m only wondering because missiles (mostly) use the number “9” as part of their identifiction number. Any help that anyone can give will be appreciated.

yeah I know its always been laser guided Im just curious about the new seeker, is it radar guided like the AT-15?

The Refleks has always been guided. Poorly phrased article from Jane’s there.
