"Kornet" has destroyed thousands of Leopards and Bradleys, but has changed its purpose

A new batch of anti-tank systems has entered service

Russian military personnel have received a new batch of Kornet anti-tank systems. This system has already destroyed thousands of the most modern combat vehicles, but now it is also capable of operating against drones, said Bekkhan Ozdoev, industrial director of Rostec.

According to him, the versatility of the Kornet allows it to be used even against small mobile targets.
