Carried anti-tank complex 9K115 "Metis".

It is part of the complex:

• guided missile 9M115
• 9P151 launcher (left view, right view, box view)
• To perform maintenance and current repair of the 9P151 starter unit, the 9B569 control and testing equipment as well as the 9B871-2 control and testing equipment are used. 9F640 simulator is used to train operators of 9K115 complex.

The 9M115 missile with a semi-automatic guidance system and a cumulative warhead is built according to the aerodynamic scheme "duck". The developers of the complex went to the ultimate simplification and facilitation of the disposable element of the complex - the missile, allowing some complexity of the repeatedly used ground guidance equipment. An important reserve for reducing the size, weight and cost of the PTUR was the simplification of onboard control system equipment. As it is known, ground-based hardware of semi-automatic guidance system of the PTUR determines the position of the missile by tracking devices connected with the ground coordinate system. Previously created samples of PTUR with single-channel control were equipped with gyroscopes that provide conversion of control signals from ground-based guidance equipment in commands formed with reference to the rotating with the missile coordinate system. The gyroscope was a rather expensive product. The 9M115 missile was equipped with a tracker mounted on one of its wings. When flying, the tracker moves in a spiral. Ground equipment receives information about the angular position of the PTUR, which allows you to properly adjust the commands issued to the controls of the missile on a wired line of communication.

In the forward part there are rudders with open air-dynamic drive using the air pressure of the raging flow. Absence of air or powder pressure accumulator, the use of plastic casting drive elements for main elements manufacturing reduces the drive cost many times in comparison with previously used products.

There are three trapezoidal wings in the tail of the missile. The wings are made of thin, flexible plates. During assembly, they are rolled up around the body without any residual deformations, after the exit of the missile from the TIC wings are straightened under the influence of elasticity . To launch the missile, a starting engine with a multi-power solid fuel charge is used.

The missile is delivered and operated in an airtight transport and launch container.

Launching device 9P151 folding, is a machine tool 9P152, lifting and rotary mechanism, which is installed control equipment - a guidance device 9C816 and hardware block. The starting device has a mechanism of precise pointing at the target, which reduces the requirements for the qualification of the operator.

At present the complex can be equipped with 1ПН86ВИ "Mulat-115" thermal sight for shooting at night and in smoky conditions. ("Falcon "2) developed by the NGO GIPO1 with a range of up to 1.5 km.

The complex consisting of one PP and four missiles is transferred in two wagons by two persons - the chief of calculation (the first number, aka the senior operator) and the operator (the second number). A 17 kg N1 pack with a launching device and one TPK with a rocket, and a N2 pack with three missiles in a 19.4 kg TPK (see diagram).

Shooting may be fired from prepared and unprepared positions from the lying position, from a trench, standing, as well as from the shoulder rest. It is also possible to fire from buildings (in the latter case, about 6 metres of free space at the rear).
