History
The anti-tank platoon of a Soviet BTR equipped motor rifle battalion had two ATGM squads, each squad has two 9K111 Fagot teams. The team consisted of 3 men - the gunner carries the 9P135 launcher and tripod as a back pack - the other two men carry two launch tubes each. The men also carry assault rifles, but do not carry an RPG - because unlike the earlier missiles there is only a small deadzone inside which the missile cannot engage the target. In addition to the four missiles the team carries, they normally have a BTR with an additional 8 missiles.
It can also be deployed from the BMP-1P, BMD-1P, BTR-D and UAZ-469.
