"Metis" with "Fagot" against the enemy - the Russian Ministry of Defense showed the work of famous ATGMs from the inside

The Russian Ministry of Defense showed how the military pass standards for working with the Metis and Fagot ATGMs. The test includes preparing anti-tank missile systems for firing, changing firing positions, conducting reconnaissance with the subsequent launch of a missile and its tracking to the target.

Both of these ATGMs were developed by KBP from the High-Precision Complexes holding of the Rostec State Corporation. They have the same semi-automatic guidance. On average, the flight speed of their projectiles is about 200 m/s, and the firing range at the enemy is up to 2 kilometers. However, there are differences between them.

The Metis-M1 hits without a miss at a distance of 80 meters to 2 kilometers even at night. It can hit fortifications and manpower of a potential enemy, it can handle stationary and moving tanks and other armored targets with dynamic protection moving at speeds up to 60 km/h.

The 130-mm Metis missile has a reinforced tandem warhead, which gives a penetration of at least 900-950 mm. In terms of firepower, such ammunition is similar to a large-caliber artillery shell.

The Fagot is also designed to destroy stationary and moving targets at speeds up to 60 km/h, including armored vehicles, shelters and enemy firing assets. At the same time, it is more long-range - its maximum range of destruction is up to 4 km, depending on the missile used.

Its maximum missile flight speed is 240 m/s. But at the same time, their armor penetration is slightly weaker: up to 800 mm.
