Trout debate that Russia ’s massive armored combat vehicle force-out would have a very concentrated fourth dimension surviving to these missiles . Active defenses in modern armored combat vehicle — like the T-90AM — make this missile ’s job much more difficult , as readerprimalizer point out :

[ From Wikipedia]The third tier is a Shtora-1(Russian : Штора-1 or “ curtain ” in English ) countermeasures suite , produced by Elektromashina of Russia . This organization includes two electro - ocular / IR “ dazzlers ” on the front of the turret ( which give the distinct Red Eyes ) , fourLaser warning receivers , two 3D6aerosol grenadedischarging systems and a computerized mastery system . The Shtora-1 warn the tank ’s crowd when the tank has been ‘ painted ’ by aweapon - guidance laserand allows the work party to slew the gun turret to confront the threat . The infrared jammer , the TShU1 - 7 EOCMDAS , jams the self-loading instruction to trace of sight ( SACLOS ) guidance system of someanti - tank guided missiles . The aerosol container grenade are automatically launch after Shtora detects that it has been painted . The aerosol grenades are used to mask the tank from optical maser range finder and designators as well as the optic of other weapons arrangement . Indian T-90S tanks are not equipped with the Shtora-1 countermeasures suite . They will be fit with the LEDS-150 Land Electronic Defence System .
