BTZ annular wing missiles

[Jemiba]

Helmut Zborowski, founder of the BTZ design bureau, tried to use the
ting-wing formula for missile, too.
- The BTZ 420 Naine Bébé would have been an anti-tank weapon with a
range of about 1.3 km, considerable more, than other contemporary
weapons and with better accurace, due to the continous burning rocket
engine.

- The BTZ 411 Lutin, a command guided infantry weapon, intended to replace
light guns, with a range 5 km and a warhead of 4 kg.

- The BTZ 412 Ogre for air-to-ground or ground-to-ground use, using TV command guidance
and with a range of about 80 km

Bureau Technique Zborovski (BTZ) studied missile concepts with annular wings. Bureau Technique Zborovski was located in Brunoy, France.

Anyone else notice that the "Roitelet" missile rocket version looks like it has a nuclear motor in there? )

These are French names, probably translated from the Russian for a French publication (I would guess Aviation Magazine).
On a side note, and although the illustration is most certainly genuine, I would take any info coming from this site with the highest reserve. A simple look at the site's menu will tell you why...

EDIT: sorry, I didn't realize that BTZ was actually a French-based design bureau.

A version of such missile was built by SEPr (see also here: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/btz-vtol-projects.6662/#post-719976)
