Lushnikov: Vikhr-1 Missile Receives Enhanced Combat Capabilities

The Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov has begun supplying the military with a modification of the Vikhr-1 air-launched missile. It features enhanced combat capabilities, according to the concern's CEO, Alan Lushnikov.

We have put it into production and are already shipping it.
Alan Lushnikov, head of the Kalashnikov concern

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.
