thank you for the infos, but what I research relate to a projectile of mortar with laser guidance (like the artillery projectile of 152 mm, called KRASNOPOl)

How, how, how !
"Krasnopol" is the general name of a laser-guided system for heavy artillery ammunition.
"Smelchek" is the name of the 240 mm mortar equiped with the "Krasnopol" system.

Thought I posted a picture of that before, but I don't remember the thread. I'll see if I can find the photo.

This is about the best I can do with the limitations on photo size. These are the only photos I was able to take, I was on location to look at other things, and the escorts were getting a little testy when I was photographing to much modern stuff.

You might be able to find more pictures and minor tech data in Russia's Arms or one of the related export books.
