He noted that Russian engineers will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the design features of Iranian Almas-3 anti-tank missiles, equipped with multispectral optoelectronic homing heads for operation from closed firing positions.

The production of such homing heads can also be localized at our enterprises. Consequently, the long-awaited modification of the 9M133M-2 ATGM with an infrared homing head will appear.
