No real info on it. And I doubt it's anywhere as good as Iskander. To me with lack of info it's just a longer range tochka in til more info and it is tested

The T-72AMT has been adapted to fire the 125 mm Kombat (Combat) gun-fired laser-guided missile, which is capable of penetrating 550 mm of armour

Wow they are ready for the early 80s already.

It's a tochka in a prettier system.

An Iskander cannot be created for $28M and in a couple of months. That's about as simple as it gets.

Iskander cost a shit ton and took years to develop by a competent team and industry with lots of history.

Ukraine and India have signed new contracts worth $20 million to expand bilateral military and technical cooperation as part of the 10th international defense exhibition Def Expo 2018, which is taking place in Chennai (India) on April 11-14, the press service of the Ukroboronprom State Concern reported on Thursday.

Iskander cost more to develop because they had to create it from OKA... this will just be... hey... look at these blueprints I have found... lets sell them to SA for a lot of money and pretend we did it...

This will do more to kill Antonov than anything Russia could possibly do... so it is a good thing... a good lesson for Peru to learn and to memorise and a good lesson for Russia to bring up to potential customers who can't decide whether to get cheaper Ukrainian support for their Soviet equipment or more expensive Russian support with the potential to upgrade to new stuff later on.

The Ukrainians can promise new stuff of course but as we can see that it is likely vapour ware.
