The tank can also launch 9M119M Refleks (Western designation AT-11 Sniper-B) anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary projectiles. These missiles have a maximum range of 5 km and can target low-flying helicopters. Secondary armament consists of 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and 12.7 mm machine gun, mounted on top of the roof.
