The analyst recalled that the quadruple launchers of the complex are equipped with individual sighting and guidance systems. They are capable of firing a salvo of four 9M133M-2 / FM-2 missiles at enemy armored vehicles at a distance of up to 10,000 m, while previous versions were capable of hitting at 5,500 m.

In terms of target channel capacity, the Kornet-D1 has already surpassed the Chrysanthemum-S, and in terms of firepower performance, it has reached their level.

The "Kornet-D1" is capable of simultaneously engaging two different targets and also has the ability to fire in automatic mode.

Currently, the complex is being created for two types of carriers: the wheeled base of the Tigr-M armored vehicle and the tracked base of the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle. The Kornet-D1 ATGM was developed in the interests of the anti-tank units of the Airborne Forces artillery.
