What happens if the safe zone is outside the weapons range? I mean if the missile goes a ten miles and the safe zone is twelve miles away, you're screwed.

Maximum effective range for the nuclear variant is 2 km (2000 meters). Then there come the issue of the warheads yield. For example - real life "Davy Crokket" system's Mk.54 warhead have yield between 10 and 20 tonnes of TNT. The shot's effect were instantly fatal at ranges of up to 100-150 meters - blast wave, thermal radiation and ionizing radiation in excess of 10 000 rem, and mostly fatal up to 400 meters - 600 rem of ionizing radiation.
On ranges of 700-800 meters from the blast it was deemed safe for the gun's crew.

The Davy Crokket never went more then like 600 meters I've been told.

Mk.54 Davy Crockett had a maximum range of 2000 meters from M28 recoilless rifle and of 4000 meters if fired from M29 recoilless rifle.

Hmm, so the death zone is bigger then I thought?

Vseslav's range with "Dragonslayer" tactical nuclear missile is about 2km, safe zone of this missile is something like 1,5km. Inside 150m radius you'll be dead the moment missile hits the target. Inside 400m radius you'll need medic's attention really fast (in XXXI century human medicine is good enough to fully heal you even after receiving fatal dose of radiation).
However, "Dragonslayer" missiles are rarely used. And cases they were used against humans can be counted by one hand. "Dragonslayer" missiles are Ultima Ratio Regnum. Use of this missiles can be authorized only in cases when really big piece of shit hits really big fan.
And in most of the cases - this shit is ethereal.

Не сделать ли ПТ ракету (а) самонаводящейся и (б) комбинированной с возможностью поражения хотя бы дозвуковых воздушных целей? Современная 9М120 пока великовата и включает специальный боеприпас для стрельбы по воздушным целям, но за такое время, думаю, смогут создать и универсальный.

Универсальную вряд ли, уж слишком разные "профили". Уж очень крепкая штука - танк... А вот сделать универсальную, но без претензий на поражение танков (например - против лёгкой бронетехники (БМП/БТР/БРДМ/...) и вертолётов) - вполне можно.
И, да, функцией управления обладают практически все стандартные выстрелы.

Ну, "серьёзная" КБЧ вполне может поразить и небронированный ЛА, почему нет, если увеличить точность попадания. Например, "шкурку" пробивает предзаряд, головная секция основного заряда срезается и отлетает, а остальное просто, по-деревенски, взрывается внутри, разбрасывая осколки стакана, в котором находится.

А, понял, это тот же РПГ Союза Красной Звезды. Только слегка тюнингованный.

err, 2000m is might not be enough to escape a neuclear blast from the rocket, or is it? Either that or the operator must be suicidal to use it.

Dragonslayer is a low-power subkiloton nuclear rockets (something like Cold War's M-28 "Davy Crockett"), equivalent is something like 10-20 tons of TNT.
Instant death radiation level within 150m, fatal dose within 400m.

ok then, but another question, would it be single use or reloadable?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Reloadable. Reloading action close to modern american Mk.153 SMAW.
"Dragonslayer" rockets are very rare and can be used only during "unlimeted wars".

then again, by 3000 AD humans might have discovered a man portable particle beam or something right? Wouldn't that make almost all explosive weapons obselete?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... Man portable particle weapon is rather rare in this setting - it is too bulky and too complicated for real army. Also, particle weapon is too dangerous - it produce much gamma-radiation on hit (enouph to kill target's crew).
Nuclear and radiation weapon is something like "ultima ratio regnum" in this setting, couse it can destroy not only body, but the soul as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the soul isn't a physical thing, how would it be destroyed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... In this setting uniqe combination of factors (for example, in the center of nuclear blast) can harm not only real plane, but astral plane too.
