Operating principle

The Kornet-EM is a beam-riding ATGM (the gunner keeps a laser beam on the target; the missile follows the reflected laser light). Range up to 10 km, tandem HEAT warhead, also a thermobaric warhead for anti-personnel use. Extensive use by Hezbollah against Israeli Merkava IV in Lebanon 2006 (several lost), Houthi against Saudi M1A2 in Yemen, and by Ukraine against Russian troops since 2022 (and vice versa: Ukraine received captured Kornets and Bulgarian-licensed versions). Widely fielded worldwide.
