A new combat vehicle designated as 99122 and mountedon a GAZ-A1 2 vohiclo was developed in 1968. The armament of the BMP-t infantry fighting vehicle was used forthe system. The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle wae equipped with four ant-tankrmiseilee which were manually ‘mounted ana rif mounted above the barrelof a73-mm smoothbere (gun. Guidance was provided by 9¢420 equipment Later, the BMD-1 amphibious assault vehicle was equipped with similar weapons, but the ammunition consisted of three missiles only n 1968, the development of a semiautomatic version of the system Under the designation 9K14® Maiyutka-P was completed The weight (of the missle under the designation 9M14P wasincreased shghtly to 11 kg. The 32123 combat vehicle mounted on BROM-2 chassis was specially developed Thenew SM14P coud also be used as part oF the 911 portable system, but onlyin the previous manual guidance mode.
