Belarus unveils Bogomol self-propelled anti-tank 82405172.

Bogomol incorporates a remote controlled combat vehicle and a computerized command post. The combat vehicle is based on a small tracked chassis that features high cross-country capability. The operator can control Bogomol at a distance of up to 300 m via a wireless channel. The vehicle can autonomously leave the firing position after engaging a target.

Bogomol has a full weight of 800 kg (with fuel supply for 100 km of cruise and 24 hours of continuous work), a height in combat mode of 1,700 mm and a cross-country speed of no less than 5 km/h. The combat vehicle is armed with four ready-to-launch Shershen anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) with automatic laser beam-riding guidance. The system can launch the missiles in both automatic and manual modes. The maximum target engaging distance reaches 4,000 m. A round-the-clock search-and-detection device can detect a 2 x 2 m target and a human-type target at distances of up to 5,000 m and 2,000 m respectively.

Bogomol is a brand-new development of Belarus` defence industry in the unmanned ground systems area. The representative of Belspetsvneshtekhnika did not mention the status of the program. Thus, the trials of the system are supposed to start within several years at least. The official pointed out that Bogomol is intended for both Belarus` armed forces and potential foreign customers.
