Kalashnikov Group conducts successful Vihr missile tests

Kalashnikov Group in cooperation with JSC KBP, National Helicopter Center Mil & Kamov and the Russian Air Force successfully completed test launches of Vihr guided missiles. 22 missile launches were made with Ka-52 Alligator helicopter.

Kalashnikov enhanced the missile’s accuracy in a short-range launch and its flight stability. All improvements were made without changing the missile’s tactical and technical characteristics.

The tests conducted proved that development re-works initiated and independently conducted by Kalashnikov are successful.

Prior to that Vihr’s ability to engage a target at an increased distance of up to 10 kilometers was assessed which also exceeds the missile’s basic tactical and technical characteristics.
