"Kornet — is an anti-tank missile system. It is designed to defeat tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with modern means of dynamic protection.

A day earlier, the Russian military conducted exercises using helicopters in the mountains of Tajikistan, the application of conditional strikes on enemy positions was practiced.

In the area of the Lyaur training ground, the crews worked out helicopter ambushes with the use of conditional launches of unguided missiles at ground and air targets of a conditional enemy, as well as avoiding the blows of portable anti-aircraft missile systems. Scheduled flights took place during the day and at night in simple and difficult weather conditions.
