Russian military personnel are actively using the portable anti-tank complex "Metis-M1." It is designed to destroy modern and advanced tanks equipped with dynamic protection, lightly armored vehicles, fortifications, and engineering structures.
The "Metis" ATGM was developed by the Tula Instrument Design Bureau in the second half of the 1970s under the leadership of the domestic gunsmith Arkady Shipunov. At the time of its creation, the complex had no analogues in the world.
Its main feature was its extremely modest mass and size characteristics compared to other ATGMs. In particular, the mass of the anti-tank missile in the transport and launch container was 6.36 kg, and the length of the container was less than 80 cm.
Military personnel could fire from the complex from a lying position, from a trench while standing, and also from the shoulder. The modern modification of the ATGM is the "Metis-M1," which has been entering the troops in recent years. The complex is an effective and multifunctional means of destruction.
