The Russian 9M133 Kornet is a highly effective man-portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) that has gained widespread use in modern military operations. With a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and the ability to engage both stationary and moving targets, the Kornet is a formidable weapon against armored vehicles and fortified structures.
Russia’s Defense Ministry has released footage showing a Kornet anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) operated by the Zabaikalsk paratroopers destroying a group of Ukrainian infantry west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
Servicemen from the separate airborne guards of Battlegroup Yug from Ulan-Ude destroyed a group of up to 10 enemy infantrymen who were moving toward forward positions for rotation, the ministry said.
