Pros and cons:

Pros:

1. The 9M133 is a Tandem-charge ATGM, which means that it has a primary charge what detonates first in order to remove any ERA which may be on the unfortunate target vehicle.
2. With a relatively high speed/velocity, this missile can reach the target quickly and before the target spots it.
3. The only vehicle armed with this powerful weapon, the BMP-2M, can fire four of them on the move, and in very rapid succession.
4. The ATGM is rather large and with an insane penetration rate of 1200mm it can penetrate the armor of basically every vehicle it encounters while successfully destroying it with one hit almost every time.

Cons:

This missile has no MAJOR downsides, except those that apply to all ATGMs, such as detonating on contact with leaves, and fences.
