The Khrizantema: Russia’s Rare Tank Destroyer in Ukraine, Is It Effective?

The war in Ukraine has entered a new phase, marked by a high-stakes game of technological leapfrog. As the US bolstered Ukrainian defenses with advanced tanks, Russia has made a surprising move: deploying a rarely-seen tank destroyer, the Khrizantema, to fight Western tanks in the frontline. Military analysts are scrambling to assess the Khrizantema’s capabilities. Is it the technological marvel Russia needs to tip the scales in its favor, or a relic of the Cold War, ill-suited for the modern battlefield? How effective is this unique weapon against the US-supplied tanks now bolstering Ukrainian defenses? Sources: By Ростех_ BY-SA 2.0 BY РГ | Русское оружие_ BY-SA 3.0 By Vitaly V.
