The PTUR Fagot is a anti-tank team for the Soviet Union that only appeared in Wargame: European Escalation. The unit was replaced by PTUR Faktoriya in Wargame: AirLand Battle.
History[]
The development of the Fagot anti-tank complex began in March 1963 at the Instrument-Making Design Bureau (Tula). The full-scale development of Fagot was started by the decision of the Commission on Military and Industrial Issues under the USSR Council of Ministers dated May 18, 1966 under No 119.
Factory tests of the complex, conducted in 1967-1968, were unsuccessful. The last stage of factory tests was started in January 1969, but due to low reliability of the wire line the tests were stopped again. Once the faults were corrected, they were completed in April-May 1969. And in March 1970 joint (state) tests of the complex were finished. By CM Decision No. 793-259 of 22 September 1970, the Fagot complex was adopted for service. In 1970 the installation lot "Fagot" (100 pieces) was ordered to Kirov factory "Mayak", and the next year their mass production started there. Production of "Fagot" at the plant "Mayak" was debugged in the IV quarter of 1971, when 710 shells were delivered. In 1975, an upgraded version of the 9M111M rocket with extended range and increased armor penetration was created. The upgraded model of the complex was named 9M111M "Faktoria".
Its NATO designation was AT-4 "Spigot".

It is better to use more advance ATGMs since Range and AP Power are vital to such units.
