As Western countries respond to the request of Ukrainian President Zelensky for tank assistance, the Russian army will soon face new adversaries in the battlefield - "Leopard" - 2, M1 "Abrams" and "Challenger" - 2 main battle tanks. On January 29, the website of the Russian "News" published an article entitled "Abandoning Armor: How the Russian Armed Forces Deal with Western Tanks", claiming that today's Russian army has a strong anti-tank defense arsenal and will "scrap" Western tanks. The article introduces the advantages of four modern Russian-made anti-tank missile systems. The full text is edited as follows: The current anti-tank missile system of 9K111 "Bassoon tube" has a variety of guidance modes - from wire control 50 or 60 years ago to ultra-modern laser beam guidance, as well as infrared guidance relying on homing head to aim at the hot spot of armored equipment. The wire guide mode is simple and reliable, and it is difficult to interfere with it. Even with the continuous development of missile technology and aiming equipment, this guidance system is still retained as an important anti-tank means. The 9K111 "Bassoon tube" anti-tank missile system is the real "veteran" of the Russian armed forces. The first improved model of the system was installed in the Soviet army in 1970. It was a revolutionary weapon at that time - its transport container has the function of a launch tube, and it has a foldable portable launch device, which can quickly replace the launch tube to complete the reload of ammunition. The range of the "Bassoon tube" depends on the type of missile it uses. It is 2000 meters when using 9M111 and 4000 meters when using 9M113. The most advanced 9M113M missile has a dual-section tandem shaped charge warhead, which can penetrate 800mm uniform armor after penetrating the reactive armor. The first section of its dual-section tandem warhead is used to deal with reactive armor, and the second section is used to penetrate the remaining armor. This scheme can effectively destroy almost all modern tanks. The maximum thickness of the front armor of the "Leopard" type tank is 500 mm ("Leopard" - 2A5) or 1200 mm ("Leopard" - 2A7), and the maximum thickness of the front armor of its turret is 1200 mm ("Leopard" - 2A5) or 1500 mm ("Leopard" - 2A7). These figures represent the tank's performance against anti-tank missile shaped charge. 9K121M "Whirlwind" 9K121M "Whirlwind" is one of the most advanced, high-tech and powerful anti-tank missile systems in Russia, equipped with the 9M127-1 missile produced since 2013. "Tornado" was developed by the Instrument Manufacturing and Design Bureau in the 1980s, targeting the latest Western tanks such as "Abrams" and "Leopard". Now the military needs to build a new generation of anti-tank weapons to deal with them. This is an air-launched anti-tank missile system for attack aircraft and helicopters. The main vehicle is Ka-52 reconnaissance attack helicopter. Each Ka-52 can carry 12 missile launch tubes of the system. This supersonic missile weighs 12 kg, including a laser guidance system and a powerful dual-cut shaped charge warhead. It can penetrate homogeneous armor of more than 1200 mm, that is, it can destroy the target from the most protected part of modern tanks. In addition to dealing with armored equipment such as tanks, "Whirlwind" can also
