Russia’s 9K111 Fagot is an effective anti-tank missile system designed for infantry. The Fagot features a shoulder-mounted launcher and a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, which allows it to penetrate heavily armored targets, including top-notch Western battle tanks.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of paratroopers blasting a Ukrainian Armed Forces observation post west of Artemovsk.
Scouts of a separate guard unit of the airborne troops from Russia’s Republic of Buryatia found a Ukrainian Armed Forces observation post in an abandoned house. The coordinates were immediately transmitted to a Fagot anti-tank missile system unit, the ministry said.
The target was destroyed with the precise launch of a guided missile, the ministry added.
