Thales Euro derivations of the APKWS II Hydra 70.
The APKWS II takes the standard 70mm Hydra 70 unguided rocket with a 10 or 17 pounder HE warhead and a proximity fuse and adds the APKWS II laser guidance system to allow the operator to steer the rocket to the general vicinity of the target and let the proximity fuse take over.
The Thales version is the LGR275 Proxy, or FZ 275 LGR.
But Thales has added a new warhead. The FZ123 disperses 6500 tungsten pellets in a cloud.
