Description
The SS-11 was antipersonnel and AT using chemical agents for use against small targets.
The SS-11 was a light surface-to-surface missile propelled by two separate rocket motors; a booster for initial acceleration, and a sustainer for powered flight. Guidance commands were transmitted through two wires that unwound from the missile during flight. The missile was controlled and brought into alignment with the target during flight by means of a manual control stick located near the launch point. It was possible for one gunner to control a battery of six missiles. The missiles could be fired directly from their shipping containers. A small crew could set up the entire battery and ground station in about 15 minutes.
A cable allowed the gunner to select an observation point removed from the launch site. With the remote controlled equipment, the gunner acquired the missile and guided it to the target. The best accuracy was attained at a maximum range.
The liquid fill was contained in the volume of cylindrical ogive nose between the skin and the burster tube.
