HYPAR (Radictistani: Hypersonische Panzerabwehrraket, English: Hypersonic Anti-tank Missile) is a hypersonic anti-tank guided missile used by the Royal Radictistan Army. Unlike most anti-tank missiles, HYPAR relies on its kinetic energy to penetrate a target's armor rather than the force of a shaped charge. The tungsten heavy alloy penetrator is claimed to penetrate up to eight hundred and fifty meters of rolled homogeneous armor. The missile utilizes laser beam guidance and is soft launched to allow for use by the RRA's Ka-52 attack helicopters. A ground-based system, the 9P165 vehicle, uses the BMP-3 chassis and is deployed as part of brigade-level anti-tank companies. While HYPAR is claimed to be an indigenous system, it is commonly believed that the missile is the result of reverse engineering of foreign technology.
