Historical background of the vehicle

The 9P157-2 "Khrizantema-S" anti-tank system was introduced by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as technologically advanced support against various types of armored vehicles, including latest-generation tanks. Used, among other places, during the conflicts in Syria and potentially available for use in other regions, "Khrizantema-S" is distinguished by its dual guidance system (radar and laser beam), which increases resistance to electronic countermeasures. The vehicle is based on the BMP-3 chassis, equipped with an automatic loading system and 15 ready-to-use 9M123 AT-15 missiles, effective at distances of 400-6000 m.
