RK-2OF missile

Also known as
  • RK-2OF
  • RK-2OF 130 mm

The RK-2OF missile is a Ukrainian 130 mm high-explosive fragmentation guided missile from Luch's RK-2 family for SKIF/Stugna-P and AMULET launchers. 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.

RK-2 Family Position

RK-2OF is the 130 mm high-explosive fragmentation branch of the RK-2 missile set. The same Luch materials place it beside tandem-charge and 152 mm missiles in transport-and-launch containers for SKIF/Stugna-P and AMULET launchers.

  3. HE Stugna missiles reported at the front

    Militarnyi reported Ukrainian border guards using HE guided Stugna missiles in the Kharkiv region and identified RK-2OF as the 130 mm HE option, while not distinguishing whether the observed combat round was RK-2OF or RK-2M-OF.

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.
