Comparison with analogues
The 9M133 performs similarly to the 9M123 ATGM, both are tandem-charge ATGMs, and have the same penetration rate.
Usage in battles
The 9M133 is capable of easily destroying almost any enemy it may face with a single shot. Thanks to its high penetration and tandem charge, it can even reliably destroy top-tier MBTs.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High penetration
- Tandem-charge mechanism bypasses ERA protection
- High flight speed
- Can be fired on the move, and in very rapid succession
Cons:
- Detonates in contact with obstacles (trees, fences, etc.)
