TASS, December 1. The High-Precision Complexes Holding (part of Rostec State Corporation) has adapted the Kornet-EM anti-tank missile system (ATGM) to any type of chassis. This was announced to TASS by Sergey Mikhailov, Deputy General Director of the holding, during the EDEX 2021 international arms exhibition.

"We can say that the Kornet-EM has become a universal ATGM - it is adapted to any tracked or wheeled chassis with the appropriate load capacity. Thus, it is able to fully meet the requirements for anti-tank weapons," he said.

In the basic modification, the Kornet-EM is placed on two telescopic masts with four missiles on each, the deputy director of High-Precision Complexes noted. "Cornet-EM structure - two masts can be installed, one can be installed. Almost any modern car can be a carrier of the "Cornet" - the inclusion of this weapon in the units radically enhances its capabilities to hit all types of targets with high accuracy," Mikhailov said, adding that the Kornet-EM ATGM in the automated launcher variant is highly accurate.

The Kornet-EM anti-tank missile system is designed to defeat tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with modern means of dynamic protection. The rocket is guided by a laser beam. The maximum firing range of the Kornet-EM complex has been increased to 8 km, whereas in previous versions it is 5.5 km.

On August 23, during the Army-2021 international forum, Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, told TASS that Russia had received several applications for the possible supply of Kornet-EM self-propelled complexes based on the Tiger armored vehicle to foreign customers (the manufacturer is a Military-Industrial Company).
