TASS: KBM is modernizing the Chrysanthemum missile 
The Chrysanthemum anti-tank missile is being modernized. The Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau (KBM, part of the High-Precision Complexes holding of the Rostec State Corporation) is adapting the ammunition for use on Russian helicopters. This is reported by TASS with reference to the general designer of KBM Valery Kashin.
A representative of the enterprise said during the EDEX 2021 international arms exhibition about work on improving the missile. “The Chrysanthemum missile is being modernized,” noted Kashin.
The 9M123M Chrysanthemum anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) has become one of the most effective Russian-made guided munitions. The missile is part of the 9K123 Chrysanthemum-S anti-tank missile system (ATGM) on the BMP-3 chassis. Also, the ammunition is being adapted for use in the armament of the Mi-28NM and Ka-52M helicopters.
Earlier, sources in the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the western strategic direction would be strengthened with the Chrysanthemum-S complexes. Military expert Viktor Murakhovsky noted that the Russian ATGM can penetrate the armor of modern foreign-made tanks.
In November, the author of the Chinese portal Sohu assessed the capabilities of the Chrysanthemum-S complex. The publication noted that 9M123 supersonic missiles can be guided by a laser beam or a radar channel.
