Iran presented an advanced ALMAS-4 anti-tank complex: what a weapon is capable of

To spread: Western experts noted that the new Iranian PTRC was copied from the Israeli Spike Nlos. In this case, the range of the rocket of the ALMAS-4 rocket is slightly under the analogue and is 25-35 km. The image of a new Iranian ALMAS-4 anti-tank missile appeared on social networks, which is the most long-range version of the Almas family.

This rocket is designed as an alternative to the Israeli SPIKE NLOS system and is designed to defeat targets outside the direct visibility (Non-Line of Sight). This was reported on February 13 by Army Recognition Operators. The material states that Iran has long been using the reverse engineering strategy to compensate for sanctions and military isolation. The ALMAS series was no exception and is the Iranian analogue of the Israeli PTKKS, including Almas-1, ALMAS-2 and ALMAS-3 models.

And the development of ALMAS-4 implies that Iran approached Spike Nlos, capable of striking targets at great distances. Unlike previous versions, ALMAS-4 has an increased range and expanded targeting capabilities. The rocket is expected to be able to hit targets at a distance of 25-35 km, which makes it a significant threat to armored vehicles and fortified objects. For comparison, Spike Nlos has a range of up to 50 km when launching helicopters and 32 km from ground platforms.

The ALMAS-4 Complex is designed for attacks on the upper pro-projection, which increases the efficiency against seriously armored goals. Probably, the PTRC is equipped with electro -optic and infrared guidance systems that provide autonomous damage to the targets or adjust the operator. Although the portable ground platform is not yet represented, the rocket can be used from mobile or air media.

In conclusion, the observers noted that the development of ALMAS-4 demonstrates Iran's efforts to create high-precision weapons despite sanctions. "This can change the military balance in asymmetric conflicts, as non -state entities will have access to advanced strokes in standby mode," experts summed up. Recall that in Russia is the development of a new type of light managed missiles 9m134 "Bulat".
