KUBINKA /Moscow Region/, August 23. /TASS/. Russia is developing a new generation of missiles for destroying tanks and other types of the armor, High Precision Systems holding company told TASS at the Army-2018 international military and technical forum on Thursday.

"The holding company’s enterprises are developing next-generation anti-tank missile systems," the company said, responding to the corresponding question.

Today a tank is the most protected and survivable vehicle on the battlefield. Modern tanks feature multi-layered armor made of various materials and explosive reactive armor. Also, active protection systems are being developed for tanks to shoot down incoming missiles and shells. In modern conflicts, tanks withstood several hits from anti-tank missile systems.
