MINSK, May 22. /TASS/. The trial use of the drone-base version of the Krasnopol guided artillery munition has been completed successfully, Rostec’s High Precision Systems told TASS during the MILEX-2023 arms and equipment expo.

"The development of the modified drone-based guided munition is complete. We have carried out a trial use with positive results," the company said.

The Krasnopol guided artillery complex includes a high-explosive guided shell and a laser target designator.
