Remote Mine-Laying Context
The 9M527 is a cargo rocket built around a payload-and-launcher relationship: a Smerch-class rocket body delivers a package of scatterable anti-tank mines instead of a unitary blast or fragmentation warhead.
| Feature | 9M527 point | Related 9M55K4 context |
|---|---|---|
| Payload | Missilery and METIS identify a 25-mine PTM-3 or PTM-3M anti-tank mine payload. | Deagel describes the related 9M55K4 as carrying 25 anti-tank mines for remote laying. |
| Range band | Missilery gives a 25-90 km firing range for the 9M527. | Deagel gives a 20-70 km firing range for the 9M55K4 baseline round. |
| Launcher relationship | Missilery identifies the 9M527 as designed for use from the 9K58 Smerch multiple launch rocket system. | METIS places the round in the broader 9M55K4 / Smerch mine-laying designation context. |
