FAQ - Spike LR2
Q: Is the SPIKE LR2 missile fire and forget only?
A: No, the SPIKE LR2 is not limited to Fire-and-Forget; it delivers multi-mode engagement for battlefield dominance. Fire-and-Forget autonomously eliminates targets post-launch, while Fire-and-Observe enables mid-course corrections, retargeting, or abort via a fiber-optic data link. Fire-to-Target-Coordinates allows precision strikes on beyond-line-of-sight targets. This versatility ensures lethal accuracy and operational superiority.
Q: How fast is a SPIKE LR2 missile?
A: The SPIKE LR2 missile can achieve speeds of around 130–180 m/s (meters per second), which translates to around 468–648 km/h (290–403 mph). This speed allows it to rapidly engage targets at ranges of up to 5.5 km, ensuring high lethality and precision in both direct and beyond-line-of-sight engagements.
Q: How steep can the impact angle be?
A: The SPIKE LR2 missile, when using its lofted trajectory, is designed to achieve a steep impact angle for maximum lethality, particularly against armored targets. While exact angles can vary based on engagement parameters, the impact angle can exceed 70 degrees, optimizing penetration against the thinner top armor of tanks and fortified structures. This capability ensures high kill probability against modern battlefield threats.
