Default Re: Details on KBP\'s Hermes missile system?

Try a search with "germes" instead of Hermes, apparently that's the used Russian-English transcription, so you should find more data.

From what I could find, it is supposed to be an advanced follow-on to the various Shturm/Ataka/Vikhr systems.
The missile looks two-stage, which may explain why they give it 15-20 km range in indirect fire (see ground launchers artwork). I heard about a BMP-3 version, and thought it was a tank hunter in the line of the MTLB-based Shturm, but apparently it isn't planned to be used direct-fire.

As for the guidance system, I have no reference data nearby, but from the top of my head I'd tend for a F&F IR imager plus laserbeam MITL correction, but it may be far simpler, like a laser designation.
