Ship's anti-aircraft missile and artillery system Kortik

The Kortik complex includes one command module and from one to six combat modules.

The command module includes a target detection radar and an information processing, target distribution and designation system.

The combat module consists of an artillery missile launcher and a control system consisting of a radar and television optical channel.

On the rotary part of the complex are mounted two blocks of 4 or 3 missiles, placed in cylindrical transport and launch containers weighing 60 kg. Two-stage solid fuel missile 9M311K (later the letter "K" was removed from the index) is unified with a missile of the military air defense complex 2K22 "Tunguska". The missile control system is semi-automatic with a radio command line. The fuse is non-contact with a radius of 5 meters. Rocket 9M311 - the only domestic ship-based SAM system with a shrapnel-core combat unit. The length of the rods is about 600 mm, diameter 4-9 mm. The top of the rods is a "shirt" containing ready-made fragments - cubes weighing 2-3 grams. At breakage of a warhead the rods form something like a ring in radius of 5 meters in a plane perpendicular to a rocket axis. At a distance of more than 5 meters, the action of rods and fragments is ineffective.

The artillery unit consists of two 30-mm six-barreled units with ballistics and AK-630 ammunition. The total firing rate is about 10,000 lb/min. In contrast to the AK-630, the barrel units are equipped with inflators to protect the unit and containers with missiles from gunpowder gases. The ZM87 is located not in a turret, but in two drums of 500 rounds each, located near the barrel blocks. The rifles are powered not by ribbons, but by augers (suspended).

The Kortik complex allows firing at up to 6 targets per minute. Rockets 9M311 hit targets in a corridor 350m wide right and left of the installation, at a distance of 8km for aircraft and 5km for PCR. Modular design and small mass characteristics allow to place the complex on ships from missile boats to aircraft carriers, as well as on ground objects.

By the end of 1994 production of "Kortika" was stopped. Though initially it was supposed to replace by "Kortik" at least the most part of art installations of AK-630, both on ships under construction and on ships in service, for what the ball epaulet and other installation parts of AK-630 and ZM87 have been unified. However, on ships of a number of projects "Kortik" does not pass the height from the deck (2250 mm compared to 1070 mm at the AK-630).
