As we discussed before, the original 9M14 Malyutkas have been upgraded with newer warheads while retaining parts of the older missile. Despite modernization efforts, the missiles are still manual command to line of sight (MCLOS) and thus harder to control compared to newer semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) ATGMs.


In a conflict, these would most likely be set up in strategic positions and fired in volleys at enemy armor. They probably wouldn't be able to completely destroy most 3rd or 4th gen MBTs but well aim shots could disable them.

The PAVN also operates newer 9K111 Fagot and other anti tank weaponry.
