Description
 
The 1K17Szhatie is a self-propelled laser vehicle of Russianorigin. The platform uses a MSTA-S chassis with a battery of laser projectors mounted in the turret. It was developed by the Soviet Union in order to disable the optical-electron ic equipment of enemymissiles, ground and aerial vehicles. The "tank" usedan intense laser beam to disable the optical-electron ic equipment of the enemyvehicles. This was created by focusing light through 30 kg of artificial rubieswhich made the whole system very expensive to produce. The energy to power the laser was provided by a generator and an auxiliary battery system. The lenses themselves were able to operate in different environ ments by moving metal capscloser to protect the lens. It was also equipped with a 12.7mm NSV machine gun todefend itself against attacks by infantry and air.
