Fire & Forget Kornet-D (EM) - ПТРК Корнет-Д (EM) -

The Kornet-D (export designation Kornet-EM) -- a multipurpose long-range missile system developed in Tula -- was unveiled at the MAKS-2011 air show.

Kornet-EM is intended to reach air and ground targets at a distance from 150 m to 10 km. It can be mounted on armored vehicle like the Russian Tigr type, but can also be installed on other vehicles weighing up to 1,5 ton.

Kornet-EM uses optical/thermal vision with automatic target tracker and makes it possible to exclude an operator from missile guidance process and in fact implements the "fire-and-forget" principle. This gives a 5-times increase in accuracy of target tracking during real combat use and high hit probability at any system operating range which is twice higher than that of the Kornet-E ATGM system.

The combat vehicle with two launchers ensures simultaneous salvo firing against two targets, this significantly increasing the system's firing rate and number of targets handled and at the same time allowing to twice reduce number of combat vehicles required to complete a combat mission. Similar to Kornet-E system the Kornet-EM system retains salvo firing capability with two missiles in one beam against one target to get over active protection systems.

Congratulations, you've mounted a missile launcher on a jeep. How innovative. And why do these videos keep depicting U.S. hardware as enemy, I thought we were over all that crap?

[Husar101]

@FlyboyHelosim

so mounting the missile on a jeep is the whole point of the video according to you?

[Husar101]

@FlyboyHelosim "why do these videos keep depicting U.S. hardware as enemy"

US videos always have Russian gear as the enemy...I guess it's just some sort of reciprocity

[Husar101]

I don't know exact numbers. The 2011 order was 2-300 launchers both in tripod (man portable) and self-propelled version (mounted on a BMP-3 carrier).

@brocalfur

They got something similar just unveiled recently with 4 missiles instead of 8.

[CilicianElite]

Is It me or is this commentary guy sound annoying ..

[DisgorgeKILLusa3]

@BoxyTheSpaceDog Tiger + Kornet, yes it's Russian.

Slightly wrong, then what to do in Belarus and Ukraine is the modernization of Soviet weapons.

[DisgorgeKILLusa3]

@TATARSTAN59500 It's tank killer i think 

[BoxyTheSpaceDog]

@DisgorgeKILLusa3

Are you blind(can't read my comment)or deaf(can't hear the video commentary).THIS IS HERE RUSSIAN SYSTEM!I know about the other that Ukraine and Belarus make but it's less advance and it's not related to my comment or this video,do you understand this???Read the description.Also almost everything that Ukraine and Belarus have of military hardware is Russian made but in downgraded versions.RIA Novosti is Russian Informative Agency!What of Caracal is in video?

[DisgorgeKILLusa3]

@BoxyTheSpaceDog What Russian ? Tiger ? Yes it is.

Caracal vehicle was made by Belarus, 2 generation laser-guided ATGM "stugna" made by Ukraine. Caracal and Tiger is diffrent vehicles, nothing has been copied, they use different missile. Russians use AT Kornet, Ukraine and Belarus are using AT Stugna.

Have a similar version of the Hummer in which onto your mounted missiles TOW or AGM-114.

[DisgorgeKILLusa3]

@FlyboyHelosim Yes i have

No i'm not Russian and its international

[DisgorgeKILLusa3]

@FlyboyHelosim Oh it's hard 

[FlyboyHelosim]

@DisgorgeKILLusa3 You have a troll detector? Is that Russian too?

[FlyboyHelosim]

@DisgorgeKILLusa3 So tell me something I don't know and we can all move on.
