That 125mm gun can fire ATGMs like Svir (range up to 4000m) and Refleks (range up to 6000m). Penetration is around 900-1000 RHA. Although the missiles fly 12-17 seconds over the maximum distance, they can be a pain in the lower bottom, especially against not manouvering, unsuspecting targets. Such a tank can take first shots against an Abrams or Leopard before that Western model even is in firing range for it's own gun.

Know your enemy - pick your battleground carefully.
