continue locking the target after the weapon has been launched. These unguided weapons are<br />
designed to destroy buried command centers, control centers, reinforced concrete shelters and other<br />
well-protected targets. The Kh-29T missile can also be used to destroy ships.<br />
The most significant limitation of TV-guided weapons is the inability to use them at night or during<br />
poor weather conditions.<br />
The delivery procedure for such weapons is as follows:<br />
