Russia will strengthen the Western strategic direction with self-propelled anti-tank missile systems (ATGMS) "Chrysanthemum-S", Izvestia reports, citing sources in the Ministry of Defense.

The newspaper writes that the military department decided to completely rearm the units of the 2nd Taman Motorized Rifle Division with similar ATGMS. According to experts interviewed by the publication, "Chrysanthemum-S" can be called Russia's main weapon against Western tanks.

In particular, military expert Viktor Murakhovsky is confident that the Chrysanthemum-S is the most advanced Russian ATGM, which provides penetration of armor of all types of foreign tanks, for example, modern Abrams, Leopard and Challenger.

The newspaper writes that this self-propelled ATGM, created on the basis of the BMP-3 platform, is called a tank killer in the army. The Chrysanthemum-S is equipped with optical sights, a thermal imager and a powerful onboard radar. The maximum firing range of the ATGM exceeds 10 kilometers. "It develops a maximum speed of up to 70 kilometers per hour, has high cross-country capability and is able to save the life of the crew even in conditions of the use of weapons of mass destruction. The calculation of the combat vehicle consists of two people," the publication writes.

In November, a publication by the Chinese media portal Sohu claimed that the high combat capability of the Russian self-propelled anti-tank missile system "Chrysanthemum-S" allows it to be used to destroy enemy aircraft, which makes it a nightmare for drones.
