Lushnikov previously stated that the concern's gunsmiths are adapting the Vikhr-1 for launch from drones. Experts note that this missile, thanks to its special warhead, destroys almost any Western-made tank.

The missile is designed to engage ground-based maneuvering armored targets equipped with dynamic protection blocks, as well as medium-speed aerial targets, including helicopters, attack aircraft, and drones. It is also used to destroy enemy firing points.
