The 9K115 Metis anti-tank system was introduced into the Soviet Army in the late 1970s. Its advantages included mobility and low weight—allowing it to be carried by two soldiers. It was effective against lightly and moderately armored targets at ranges up to 1000 meters. The system saw use in numerous armed conflicts, including Afghanistan, Chechnya, and the Middle East.
