The Kornet is a Russian man-portable anti-tank guided missile developed by the Shipunov Tula Instrument Design Bureau.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Kornet man-portable anti-tank guided missile system with thermobaric ammunition and other anti-tank weapons destroying Ukrainian tanks attempting to counterattack Russian positions in the direction of Ugledar in the People's Republic of Donetsk.
The operation was observed by a UAV.
Known as AT-14 Spriggan by NATO, the Kornet is designed to destroy tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with modern explosive reactive armor.
All administrative buildings in Artyomovsk controlled by Russian forces — DPR head
All administrative buildings in Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine) are controlled by Russian forces, acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said on Tuesday.
"All administrative buildings are already controlled by our forces," he said in an interview with Russia’s TV Channel One.
Pushilin stressed that he had been to Artyomovsk to see it with his own eyes, adding that he hardly saw any building not seriously damaged there, which could be "slightly reconstructed" and used in the future.
Earlier, Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said that Russian forces controlled more than 80% of Artyomovsk, including all administrative centers.
Ukrainian ministries create shell companies for arms export contracts — Hersh
Ukrainian ministries create shell companies to sign arms export contracts, US journalist Seymour Hersh said in an article, published on the Substack platform Wednesday.
"Many government ministries in Kiev have been literally "competing," I was told, to set up front companies for export contracts for weapons and ammunition with private arms dealers around the world, all of which provide kickbacks. Many of those companies are in Poland and Czechia, but others are thought to exist in the Persian Gulf and Israel," Hersh says.
Depleted Uranium Shells Supplies to Ukraine Threaten Humanity: Turkiye's Presidential Candidate
Muharrem Ince, a Turkish presidential candidate from the Homeland Party (Memleket Partisi), has said in an interview with Sputnik that deliveries of munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine are a threat to humanity as a whole.
"Signals, which are being sent through deliveries of munitions containing depleted uranium, pose a threat not only to Russia and Turkiye but to all of humanity. The entire humanity should oppose it," Ince said.
"I think Britons should act more carefully on the matter," he added.
In March, UK Minister of State for Defense Annabel Goldie said that the country would provide Ukraine with depleted uranium tank ammunition, including armor-piercing shells for the 14 Challenger 2 battle tanks UK is planning to supply to Ukraine.
The Kremlin has repeatedly warned against further escalation of the situation. Presidential and parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Turkiye on May 14. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, put forward by a six-party opposition alliance, is considered incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's main opponent. The list of presidential candidates also includes Ince and Sinan Ogan of the ATA Alliance.
