According to him, the S-13 combines the capabilities of several unguided 122 mm caliber missiles. The new missile has a switch of the initiation unit for instantaneous detonation of the warhead and two decelerations: small and large.
"If you put the switch on instantaneous detonation, we will get the result of C-13OF. The explosion will occur on the surface and hit lightly armored vehicles. When setting the maximum deceleration, the effect of C-13T will be achieved, " Kochkin said.
