KBP Industries AT-27 "Spinner"

  This is the standard tripod mounted ATGM used by the Russian ground forces. The missile is designed to engage medium to heavy armor on the battlefield. It uses a tandem warhead to achieve this mission very well as well as being a fire and forget weapon, with the gunner firing, then setting up to another position and re-firing. The missile has a millimeter wave radar for both flight and terminal homing. The missile can be set for two modes, either "Direct" or "Indirect". Direct mode is a normal flight profile for an anti-tank missile. "Indirect" is used when CIWS systems are present on the battlefield. The normal flight path is used, then the missile pops up and attacks the top armor of the target. This gives a +1 modifier to any CIWS attempting to engage this missile.
  The firer first acquires the target through the mounted visual sight, using either low-light, thermographic, or standard vision on the weapon sight. The firer pulls the trigger once, and that activates the millimeter wave radar homing head on the missile. If the missile has acquired the target, the display will give a visual cue in the eyepiece, and the firer pulls the trigger again to fire the missile. The missile then self guides to the target. The combined launch and transport container allows the missile to be fired in an enclosed space, with a minimum of 1m room to allow the container to eject backwards. The firing tripod is lightweight and folds up for easy transport in the field. It requires a Complex action to both fold up/deploy the tripod, and requires the same to load/unload the missile in it’s container. A special adapter allows the weapon to be mounted on a pintle mount, as well as hookups to allow it to interface with the fire control computer, allowing full under armor firing.
