Russian missiles 'compete' with American missiles: Who wins?
The presence of mobile missile systems capable of destroying both air and ground targets is a huge advantage for each country. Try to figure out which Multipurpose Missile Complex is more powerful, Russian or American.
In the event of war, mobile missile systems can be used to attack, defend and support base forces.
Stryker MSL
The Stryker MSL is a modified version of the famous M1126 Stryker armored personnel carrier chassis, in which the rear troop compartment is modified to integrate the combat module with the AGM-114 Longbow Hellfire multi-purpose missile.

The special feature is that this version of the Hellfire missile uses an active radar seeker with a "launch and forget" mode and "target lock after launch" instead of laser beam tracking like the old generation, helping it take on the new function of an air defense missile.
Thanks to its maximum speed of Mach 1.3 (450 m/s), the AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire is capable of destroying low-maneuverability aircraft such as helicopters and slow-speed attack aircraft. In addition, its 9 kg armor-piercing warhead remains intact, ensuring its traditional anti-tank function.
Hermes
It can be seen that the features of the American Stryker MSL are quite advanced, however, if placed next to another Russian weapon system, the Hermes multi-purpose missile mounted on the KamAZ 6 truck chassisx6 of Russia it still can not compare.
Finally, the Hermes' ammunition load on a transport chassis is up to 8 - 24 rounds, much larger than the US Stryker MSL. This weapon is said to have been tested in Syria, while the new Stryker MSL is in the performance evaluation phase.
