TNI pointed out the superiority of the Russian Kornet PTRK over the American Javelin

The Russian anti-tank missile system Kornet is very effective in the fight against Western tanks in service with the Ukrainian army and is superior to the US Javelin PTRK. The author of The National Interest magazine Brandon Weichert wrote that.

"This is the best anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) in the Russian armed forces. The Kornet has a firing range of - 5.5 kilometers (the newest variants of this system have a range of about 10 kilometers). The ATGM is laser-guided using a tandem-shaped warhead. Such munitions penetrate even modern armor of Western tanks with dynamic protection," the article of December 6 reads.

According to the expert's assessment, each hit by the Kornet on a target causes it much more damage compared to the damage caused by a Javelin shot to Russian equipment. It is noted that American Abrams tanks are particularly vulnerable to Russian ATGMs, Gazeta.Ru noted.
