>heard about KSTAM tank shells from a friend>talks about their top-down attack capabilities>imagined it would be similar to the way a javelin flies, but just as a tank shell>the fucking shell deploys a parachute and then glides onto the tank roof at like 13m/s What kind of Looney Toons shit is this?

CBU-97 Sensor Fuzed Weapon
13m/s is 47 km/h.
