RK-2M-K missile

Also known as
  • RK-2M-K
  • RK-2MK
  • RK-2М-К
  • 152 mm RK-2M-K

RK-2M-K is a Ukrainian 152 mm tandem-charge guided anti-tank missile in Luch's RK-2 family for SKIF/Stugna-P and AMULET launchers. Luch and Ukrainian state export materials list it in transport-and-launch containers beside 130 mm and high-explosive fragmentation variants, while Janes describes the 152 mm branch as export-market ammunition rather than the 130 mm missiles then used by Ukrainian forces.

RK-2 Family Position

RK-2M-K is the 152 mm tandem hollow-charge branch of Luch's RK-2 missile set. The same official materials place it beside 130 mm missiles and the 152 mm RK-2M-OF high-explosive fragmentation option, so the designation marks both caliber and warhead role inside a shared launch-container family.

RK-2M-K missile Key Events

  1. Listed in SKIF family materials

    Luch's SKIF materials list RK-2M-K as the 152 mm tandem hollow-charge missile option in the system's transport-and-launch container set.

  3. 152 mm branch framed as export-market ammunition

    Janes reported that Skif-M uses the same 130 mm or 152 mm R-2 missile series as Skif, while Ukrainian forces were then using only the 130 mm missiles and the 152 mm branch was designed for export competition with Kornet-E/EM.

Luch documents it in transport-and-launch containers with laser-beam guidance, day and night firing ranges, and an EFP fragmentation warhead; later reporting also placed HE-warhead Stugna missiles in Ukrainian frontline use without isolating the exact 130 mm round from the 152 mm RK-2M-OF option.

The tripod launcher, guidance unit, thermal imager, and remote-control panel let crews fire from covered positions up to 50 m from the launcher, while RK-2-series 130 mm and 152 mm missiles give infantry and mobile teams a long-range anti-armor weapon in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

Its laser-beam guidance, thermal-imager-compatible launcher, and RK-3K tandem HEAT or RK-3OF high-explosive fragmentation missiles give Ukrainian small units a lighter domestic ATGM alongside the heavier Skif/Stugna-P family, with documented use from the Donbas front through the full-scale 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
