Mostly blast damage I think, but yes, it saw heavy use in the Afghan campaign and also in later conflicts, so it must be there.

while it would be nice for realistic 80s scenarios, they did say they will do the thermobaric Ataka warhead, so while not great for older scenarios will do the same job a bit better

Good to see they will do at least a missile with thermobaric warhead, If we use it at lower range it can double as the Shturm. Hope they add this content soon.

According to here the only known differences between the Shturm and the Ataka are the warhead and booster having more nozzles so it’s more efficient and gets more power out of its 1kg of fuel that last literally .05 seconds  https://thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.com/2021/07/soviet-atgms.html?m=1
 

It stipulated that the range advantage of the ATAKa comes from the longer telescoping warhead of the tandem HEAT Ataka giving it less drag and better aerodynamics. The thermobaric warhead is shamed more like the Shturm Heat warhead and would have more drag. So it’s interesting to see how it will be modeled.
