On August 30, the website of Rossiyskaya Gazeta published an article entitled "Special Missiles: What's Good About the" Product 305 "Multipurpose Missile", written by Sergey Putin. The article excerpt is as follows: On the battlefield of special military operations, a multi-purpose missile codenamed "Product 305" is becoming increasingly widely used. The pilot gave it high praise. The main use of this missile is the Ka-52 and Mi-28N attack helicopters, as well as the upgraded Su-25SM3 attack aircraft. This type of missile was only recently developed. The first public appearance was at the "Military 2021" Military Technology Forum, but the appearance at that time was quite low-key. At this year's forum, "Product 305" received a more comprehensive display. This missile was developed by the Machinery Manufacturing and Design Bureau located in Kolomna, Russia. The famous "Iskandel" missile and the "Arrow" and "Needle" portable air defense missile systems were both developed by the agency. There are many other powerful weapon systems in the military product list developed by the design bureau, all of which have resounding names. Now suddenly there is a name that doesn't make sense - "Product 305", which stands out among many well-known missile systems. The reason is actually very simple. According to public information, the customer of "Product 305" is the Russian Federal Security Agency. Generally speaking, the name of a research and development product is determined by the customer. Previously, the main client of the Machinery Manufacturing and Design Bureau had always been the military, which usually gave missiles a loud and pleasant name. The Federal Security Agency, which incorporates a sense of confidentiality into its bloodstream, only assigns a numerical code to its customized products, with the aim of making it impossible for outsiders to guess. At first, 'Product 305' should be strictly confidential and not intended for widespread use. The accuracy of this missile should be very high, and it can hit targets several tens of centimeters in size, including moving targets, from over ten kilometers away. The Federal Security Agency clearly needs such missiles, mainly to combat terrorists. The designers of the Machine Manufacturing Design Bureau have completed this task. The fact proved that this missile was too useful, so the senior management decided to not only provide it to the Federal Security Agency's aviation forces, but also to the military, and even allow it to be exported. Product 305 is an air launched missile that can be used on various aerial platforms to strike various ground and surface targets. It differs from other similar products in terms of size and mass, and can even be launched using drones. The ability to use multiple carriers is an important feature of this missile. It can be carried by Ka-52 and Mi-28NM helicopters without the need for major modifications to onboard equipment. In addition, this missile can also be used for armed models of Mi-8 helicopters. Product 305 has excellent performance. It is superior to missiles of the same type as the 'Whirlwind' in terms of range, weight, and warhead power. Its multimodal integrated guidance system has also received much attention. With this system, 'Product 305' can strike stationary or moving targets with known and unknown coordinates. If a higher priority target appears, the missile can be reoriented during flight. Product 305 has three usage modes. The first mode is that the missile is in the air
