Feb. 12 Jane’s M&R article by Piotr Butowski; I’ll just summarize the main points here.
Basically, Tula has developed a new AT missile (well, it blurs the line between anti-tank missile and standoff PGM) called the Hermes, which is available in ranges of 15, 40, and 100km! and will be replacing the Vikhr on the Ka-50/52s.
And in other interesting news, Novator unveiled the new KS-172 long range awacs-killer AAM, which surprisingly is not being used by the RuAF (which has gone instead for the K-37M) and will be headed for the export market.
