The Russian military is testing the Okhotnik remote firing module, developed for the Kornet anti-tank missile system, in the area of their military operation. The design allows you to install three guided missiles on the platform at once.
According to the developers, the Hunter can be installed on a ground-based unmanned platform. At the same time, the operator has the ability to control the launch of anti-tank missiles remotely via a radio link or cable.

This method of missile launch control allows the operator to be at a distance from the launcher, avoiding falling under enemy return fire. In addition, installing missiles on a robotic platform saves fighters from having to carry ammunition on their own. The tests carried out showed the high efficiency of the Hunter.

The Kornet ATGM entered service with the Russian army in 1998. It is designed to defeat tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with modern means of dynamic protection. With this ATGM, military personnel can fire at targets at a range of 100 to 5,000 meters. In this case, the ammunition can penetrate tank armor with a thickness of 120 centimeters.
Let's add that ground-based robotic platforms are becoming more widespread in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They are used to evacuate the wounded, as well as to deliver ammunition and food to the front line.
