Russia to test new anti-tank guided missiles in Syria

Ka-52K attack helicopters deployed on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier will test-fire the latest Hermes extreme-range anti-tank guided missiles for the first time in Syria in the battle with Islamic State, the daily newspaper Izvestiya reported.

“Tests in a combat environment will help finalize the missile system, which should become a standard weapon for Russia’s Alligator military helicopters,” the newspaper said, citing a source in the Russian military-industrial complex. “It was decided to test the Hermes in more difficult, ship-borne air operations.”
