Kornet-D
Missile Systemconfirmed
Kornet-D is a Russian anti-tank missile carrier based on the AMS 233 144 TIGR-M 4x4 high mobility vehicle. It employs 9M133M Kornet-EM missiles in both tandem-HEAT or thermobaric warhead variants. It is capable of launching a salvo of two missiles less than a second apart, either at a single target or at two different targets simultaneously. The two-missile salvo is intended to either defeat active protection systems or to ensure a single tank's destruction in the absence of an active protection system. The system can be controlled remotely at a distance of 50 meters.
