Maximum. Apparently one can choose the exact location where the missile should hit and at 6km max diversion is 1m.

The 9M120M version has a range of 8000 m. Seems better than the Vikhr! Well it's not even close to the Hellfire but it makes Russian helicopters fully capable and modern war machines IMO.

O .. yeah? Not even close ... huhhh. What is Hellfire range then, 100km? What exactly do you mean by not even close? BTW, what is the range of the Finish (Finland's) AGM for modern helicopters? Edited by =4c= Hajduk Veljko

Direct trajectory launch of a Hellfire gives it a 7km range. High trajectory is a 8km range, this from Helo's. The only way a Hellfire outranges the 9M120M is fired from a UAV (11km).

Sorry, I shouldn't have put the sentences next to each other like that as they aren't about the same subject (range). :/ I didn't mean the range. I meant how advanced the missile was. The Ataka is much better than I initially thought, better than Vikhr, thus I said that now I'm impressed as it brings the Russian helicopters on par with the best in the world. It's simpler than Hellfire but it seems to do it's job well and range is sufficient IMO. Plus it can be used on many platforms which is impressive also.

I should think better and re-read what I wrote before posting.

 

Finland doesn't have attack helicopters and doesn't produce any missiles either.
