The new Russian Hermes anti-tank missile system (ATGM) may soon enter service with the troops. The prototype has passed all tests, and it is planned to begin its serial production in the coming months.
The ATGM was developed by engineers from Tula's KBP (part of the High-Precision Complexes holding), as well as specialists from NIIFP. The refined Hermes received updated hardware and source code for the fire control system.
Technical characteristics of the Hermes ATGM:
- Firing range - up to 100 km
- Missile weight with container - 130 kg
- Missile flight speed - 1300 m/s
- Weight of the missile's fragmentation warhead - 30 kg
- Installation on air, ground, and naval carriers
- Salvo firing mode at 6 targets
Rostec emphasizes that the Hermes complex, presented at the Army forum in 2020, occupies a niche between guided artillery shells and operational-tactical systems.
