Anti-tank missile with 'fire and forget' capability

According to the Commander of the Russian Missile Forces and Artillery, Major General Mikhail Matveyevsky, the country is developing a new generation self-propelled anti-tank missile system.

“Plans to develop a self-propelled missile system with ‘fire and forget’ capabilities are underway in the Russian military,” Major General Matveyevsky told RIA Novosti news agency.

A “fire and forget” missile system is a very effective weapon because the user only needs to aim and fire without having to adjust the trajectory during flight. This allows the gunner to focus on shooting at a new target or retreating to another position.

The new anti-tank missile system will have fire-and-forget capability.

According to Mr. Matveyevsky, the development of the new anti-tank missile will focus on improving the missile's effectiveness, range and ability to counter electronic warfare systems and automation.

Currently, the Russian army is using the Khrizantema-S and Shturm-SM self-propelled anti-tank missile systems. These weapons are capable of attacking and destroying many types of moving targets such as tanks, armored vehicles and even helicopters or radar systems in all weather conditions.
