The RBTK Krator (Rakhi: Pакетаи Баллистикии Kутохпарвоз Кpатор) is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system produced and deployed by the Rakhmani military. They travel at a terminal hypersonic speed of 2100–2600 m/s (Mach 6–7) and can reach an altitude of 50 km as they range up to 500 km. The missile systems (Кpатор-M) were intended to, by 2020, replace the KROT-73 Nukta systems in the Rakhmani military.
The Krator has several different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel–air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions. In September 2017, the TBD (TBD) general designer Valery M. Kashin said that there were at least seven types of missiles for Krator, including one cruise missile.
