Andriy said that despite a great deal of weapons that Armed Forces of Ukraine had one of the best ATGMs was Ukrainian Stuhna-P system by Luch Design Bureau (major Ukrainian developer of components for the defense industry).
“We have worked with different ATGMs but Ukrainian appears to be great. Precision, range and most important – possibility of successful execution of combat missions in various conditions and locations” justified Foxtrot.
Andriy emphasised that in spite of proclaimed maximum range of 5 km, Stuhna-P ATGM could cover longer distances.
“Once we hit the russian tank at 5300 meters. I remember it so well, we checked it on maps and tablets several times” said the commander.
In July, there was a case when Stuhna-P ATGM hit a a target at more than 5km distance.
Moreover, this anti-tank guided missile can perfectly shoot down russian “flying tanks”.
