Russian military personnel at the forefront are using the highly mobile, all-weather Chrysanthemum-S anti-tank missile system. It is designed to destroy modern and advanced tanks of any type, including those equipped with dynamic protection.
"Chrysanthemum-S" is equipped with its own radar station, which provides target detection and tracking while simultaneously controlling the missile during guidance. The control and tracking process is carried out without operator intervention in automatic mode.
Military expert Evgeny Damantsev clarified that the complex has two target channels, the first of which is provided by a television-infrared optoelectronic guidance module using a semi-automatic laser-beam control channel for the 9M123-2/F-2 ATGM. The second is provided by an all-weather W-band radar complex (100 - 150 MHz) with a radio command control channel.
The range of the 9M123-2 and 9M123F-2 ATGMs is up to 6000 m, the average trajectory speed is 430 m/s. Standard electronic warfare systems for enemy FPV drones and optoelectronic countermeasures of the enemy are not able to effectively counter the Chrysanthemum-S complex.
Main characteristics of the Chrysanthemum-S ATGM:
- Crew — 2 people
- Ammunition stowage — automatic
- Maximum firing range — 6000 m
- Rate of fire — up to 4 missiles per minute
- Ammunition load — 15 missiles
- Chassis — BMP-3
