A puzzling question for me is, why did the Russian make a gun launched anti-tank missile? To me that is just dumb when you have access to a 125 mm gun! Is this to make up for a lack of power in it's SABOT? Or a lack of good future target positioning electronics for their main gun? I could see something in the anti-air catagory for this, but anti-tank?
