It's hard to get a good description of this round. It's been described as a JDAM for tanks by one guy, and as something completely new by another. It's called a chemical energy kinetic round, which seems to be a contradiction. It has small rocket motors, a GPS, and some other targeting sensors. BUT you are right, it is described as medium range.

Maybe some kind of EFP round? You could describe an EFP chemical energy formed kinetic round.. Then we´d be talking yet again of age-old tech, but who knows..

Funny, if you could use the speed exploding HEAT gases to propel some kind of kinetic round. If it could take the shock it would be fast. But then again, if it would be so fast that it would brake-up on impact, as some current APFSDS-rounds at hyper velocity..
