The Kornet anti-tank missile system remains one of the most effective means against heavy armored vehicles of the enemy. However, even it has certain flaws, which were revealed by the authors of the Telegram channel @RussianArms.
One of the main disadvantages of the system remains the weak magnification of daytime optics when firing from 5 km and above, as well as the absence of a remote control. Since the missile needs to be guided for quite a long time, it is better to do this from cover, when the mount is outside.
The standard legs of the tripod are not telescopic. The main problem of the mounts is the backlash in the area where the launcher is attached to the tripod. And even a slight backlash when firing at long ranges strongly throws the complex.
A rather weak thermal imager with a target recognition range of no more than 3 km with huge dimensions and a long activation time. On old-style mounts, when firing at a range of 7-8 km, the 9M113FM-3 missile often loses the beam and falls due to insufficient power of the laser-beam module. The absence of missiles with IIR seeker for working from closed firing positions.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia built a Tushil-class missile frigate for India with Kalibr, Onyx, and BrahMos missiles.
