Russian anti-tank complex "cornet" will have the ability to hit enemy armored vehicles equipped with active protection. A new algorithm for "double trigger" is already used in the initial field testing. This was told by the Director of industrial cluster weapons "Rostec" Bekhan Ozdoev.
Tula KBP them. Shipunova continues to work on ATGM "Kornet", now for the complex is being developed algorithm the so-called "double trigger" that allows you to hit armored vehicles mounted with its active protection. It consists in the simultaneous launch of two missiles goal with the minimum of delay time and enable active protection to respond to a second missile. Both missiles are controlled by a single laser beam, other details of the design are not given, a new algorithm was already tested during initial field testing.
- quotes RIA Novosti words Ozdoev.
In February of this year, it was reported that the final part of the test came out designed for airborne ATGM "Kornet-D1" on the basis of BMD-4M and "Tiger-M". In both versions, the complex armed with two launchers, which are equipped with automatic tracking, allowing you to hit the target without operator intervention. The complex uses missiles with increased range. The missile with a tandem shaped-charge warhead capable of hitting a target at a distance of 8 km, with a temperature - up to 10 km While the second missile can hit low-speed aircraft.
