The 9K25 Krasnopol family is a Russian laser-guided artillery projectile line built by KBP Instrument Design Bureau for precision tube-artillery fire. The Krasnopol-M2 variant is documented in reporting on Russian precision fire from the 2S43 Malva, while the Krasnopol-M follow-on is the shorter 152/155 mm version that FAS says is fully compatible with the 2S19 Msta-S autoloader and usable with 155 mm howitzers.
FAS says the Krasnopol-M follow-on projectile is fully compatible with the 2S19 Msta-S autoloader, and Army Recognition reports that the family also fires from the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV, 2S43 Malva, and 2A65 Msta-B.
