According to “Lenta.ru”, the maximum range of the new ATGM will be at least ten kilometers. At the same time, the guided missiles of the complex will be launched from old launchers.
According to journalists, the US Army is interested in replacing the BGM-71 TOW primarily because it fears a potential conflict with Russia. The threat of such arose after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, with which part of the international community does not agree. In addition, the US military fears a possible clash with China.
The replacement BGM-71 TOW should appear in the US Army in 2028-2032.
