The BRDM-2 vehicles with DKKB Luch ATGM turrets have deserved the highest praise from the soldiers who had tested and tried them out.
Amulet, a remote weapon station armed with 2x 130/152mm ATGM launchers, made its debut at the 2019 Arms & Security Expo held in Kyiv, displayed mounted on Ukrainian Armor’s Novator APC vehicle.
Amulet remote weapon station is adapted for use of anti-tank missiles under Skif ATGM system - RK-2S and the latest anti-tank RK-2M missiles.
The ATGM system Skif is deployable on various mobile platforms. If need be, it can be easily dismounted from a vehicle and used from a tripod.
Armed with 130-mm RK-S anti-tank missiles, the Skif can defeat armored vehicles protected with up to 800 mm armor in RHA equivalent from up to 5 kilometers away; with 152-mm RK-2M-2 missiles, penetration capability would increase to 1,000 mm RHA.
