The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has published an interactive 3D model of the Krasnopol-M2 guided artillery shells, along with detailed component information and a list of the companies involved in their production.
The material is available in the Weapon Components section of the War & Sanctions portal.
The developer and primary manufacturer of the shell is the Design Bureau of Instrumentation named after Academician Shipunov, part of the High-Precision Systems holding under the Russian state corporation Rostec. In early April, the organization publicly announced further deliveries of these munitions for use in the ongoing war against Ukraine.
The Krasnopol is a 152-mm guided high-explosive shell designed for self-propelled artillery systems such as the Msta-S and Akatsiya, as well as towed systems like Msta-B and D-20. Targeting is conducted via laser designation, either from ground-based systems or drones, including the Orlan-30 and Granat-4.
A single Krasnopol-M2 round includes a 3OF95 guided high-explosive shell, a propellant charge, and specialized packaging. Depending on the system and charge used, the shell can reach targets over 20 kilometers away.
The update also lists 17 companies involved in the production of the shells. Five of these are not currently subject to sanctions by any partner countries, despite supplying critical components such as guidance system elements, servo motors, and fuzes for the warhead.
Ukraine’s intelligence emphasized that Russia continues to use high-precision munitions in the war, relying on access to these technologies and components.
