Would anyone like to wager on the outcome of this encounter? Ukrainian troops fire a Stugna-P ATGM at a group of four or five Russian soldiers hitting the group. At least one soldier survives and flees to the left. The Stugna-P, or Skif, is produced in Ukraine and has a range of up to five kilometers. Comparable to and somewhat more capable than the American TOW missile, the Stugna-P is predominantly an anti-armor weapon, although there are warheads designed for other targets. Use against a small group of dismounts may seem like overkill, but that happens sometimes.
