Looks like I am going to have to create a T-14 armata thread talking about all its capabilities since I received this news today.
Холдинг «Росэлектроника» Госкорпорации Ростех выпустил первые опытные образцы универсальной инфракрасной телевизионной камеры, способной «видеть» в любых погодных условиях и в любое время суток на десятки километров.

Ruselectronics has developed an "all-seeing" infrared camera with a detection range of up to 20 km
The Ruselectronics Holding of Rostec State Corporation has released the first prototypes of a universal infrared television camera capable of "seeing" tens of kilometers in all weather conditions and at any time of the day.
The new devices are part of the line of television cameras developed by the Central Research Institute "Electron" (part of "Ruselectronics") for operation in conditions of poor visibility. A number of modifications can be used in drones, ground-based surveillance systems, as part of surveillance and tracking onboard systems of various aircraft, for example, during rescue operations.
The camera operates in the near-infrared range of 0.95-1.65 μm and can be synchronized with laser illumination. The photons reflected from the detected objects are read by a special television sensor in a sealed case, inside of which there is a radiation-sensitive photocathode and an electronically sensitive matrix in a vacuum. Such know-how of the specialists of the Central Research Institute "Electron" allows you to reduce the amount of noise interference and increase the resolution of the camera.
Since the main signal that the device captures is the laser illumination received at the set time, the foreground and background of the image are suppressed. When using laser illumination, the equipment detects objects at a distance of up to 20 km and generates a high-resolution image even in complete darkness, in conditions of fog, rain, dust storms, etc. "Near-infrared cameras are in stable demand from both military and civilian customers, since such devices are indispensable for solving a whole range of tasks.
For example, our product can be used to detect people on the water during rescue operations. A SWIR camera at night allows you to observe objects an order of magnitude clearer than devices operating in the visible spectral range. And when using laser illumination, the detection range of objects in our device is 3-3.5 times greater than that of medium- and long-wave systems. Thus, our development "looks" further and "sees" better, "said Alexey Vyaznikov, General Director of the Central Research Institute "Electron".
Central Research Institute "Electron" is the leading enterprise in Russia for the development and production of photoelectronic devices, devices and cameras.
For reference the 3rd Gen FLIR promisided for the SepV4 which I think got cancelled for Abrams X uses long wave and midwave infrared detection
https://asc.army.mil/web/portfolio-item/iews-third-generation-forward-looking-infrared/ this camera speaks of SWIR and near infrared which offers higher resolution capabilities that what was proposed as the 3rd gen FLIR. so I think Russia might have atleast surpassed the U.S. in infrared technology if I am reading this article right, because in 2020 sepv4s received them with 20.8km range(8km 2nd gen FLIR times 2.6) capabilities while the russians got the same range but with a more clear resolution without weather or day and night effecting it.
This means the 20km ATGM can be supported to hit its target by
1. its drone.
2.possibly radar since sources said 100km and tracking 40 targets, some didn't believe the range so lets say 20km
3. High resolution infrared detection with laser illumination.
NOTE: they are showing a handheld infrared camera than optics based on tanks or aircrafts which might imply the tanks can have a farther range for bigger size. Armatas have been postponed for a year from going to the front to receive new electronics.
