Armenia stoking up on Indian-made Konkurs-M, anti-tank guided missiles

Konkurs-M, anti-tank guided missiles, manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited, Hyderabad are being restocked by the Armenian army as part of its replenishment drive to rebuild its inventory.

Armenia like many former Soviet-union countries also operates large quantities of Soviet-era weapons like anti-tank guided missiles and in recent times also procured some of them from India that continues to manufacture them under license from Russia, according to Indian Defence Research Wing.

Konkurs-M is a second generation mechanised infantry anti-tank guided missile to destroy armoured vehicles equipped with explosive reactive armour.

Konkurs-M is a substantially upgraded variant of the venerable Konkurs AT-5 Spandrel ATGM system. Konkurs-M can engage heavily armoured vehicles protected by explosive reactive armour hardened engineering installations, surface targets and low-speed low-flying combat helicopters. Indian Army operates over 15,000 Konkurs-M ATGMs.
