The Russian Ministry of Defense published a press report highlighting the use of the portable “Vagot” and “Sturm-S” self-propelled anti-tank systems in the Russian military operation in Ukraine.


The Sturm-S system is a multi-mission, self-propelled system that is used to combat tanks and other armored vehicles, manpower, field fortifications, and even low-flying aircraft such as helicopters and drones.

The missile is equipped with a laser guidance system that forms the basis of the system. Special programs have been prepared to control the missile after its launch. The missile flies above the aiming line, and when it approaches the target to a distance of 1000 meters, it begins to decline until it reaches the target.

The operator can see the guided missile, whatever the weather conditions. The missile is protected from electronic interference thanks to the use of special codes and 5G fixed frequencies. The developed Ataka missile has a launch range of 8 km.

The launcher includes 12 missiles that are fired automatically from rotating containers, at a rate of 3-4 missiles per minute.
 
The the only man that can stop this war is Putin.

And so far he has made no reasonable offer that would bring peace.

Russians negotiations where in bad faith from the beginning.

Which is again lobesided and half truth based on wishful thinking.

Zalensky who refused to attended the Feb 8 2022 to reaffirm his commitment to Minsk II which was filed in UN should be held fully responsible.

Anyway and IMO it is already too late as Russian President has hardened his stance due to US and NATO clandestine activities thru proxies instead of engaging in a real war between them.

In the coming days and weeks ahead, the effects of a tactical adjustment in what was initially a special military operation ordered by Russia President Putin has changed.

That would be pretty effective against tanks. However being a large vehicle infantry atgm squads can target it as well as uavs can find them easily. Unmanned smaller atgm platforms would be a trend in my opinion like this one having a much lower height profile and signature with 4 atgms and a machine gun for attacking infantry.Ugvs may have a range issue because of line of sight and terrain but quad drones in air can be used as comm relays for longer ranges in my opinion and ai waypoints+gps to get close to operation zone.

Laser guided atgms diving at the last moment would probably work against hard kill active protection systems. Hard kills fire a straight unguided shots to a calculated t+1 position of the incoming missile. If for example laser/command guided missile comes straight but just at the end makes a random jump up-down maneuver when it is very close to tank then aps would have difficulty calculating and aiming to its t+1 position. Pop up-dive maneuver is already widely used in anti ship missiles to tackle down ships ciws.

"The Kaliningrad region has been under Russian occupation since 1945... Now we should remember it, and it's time to return to Poland."

The Polish and American armies began military exercises 70 km from the borders of the Russian Kaliningrad region.
