The Kornet man-portable anti-tank guided missile system can hit targets at a range of up to 5,500 meters, with its tandem warhead capable of punching through about 1,200 mm of tank armor.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released a video of Russian airborne forces successfully carrying out a combat mission in the special military operation zone.
The footage shows scouts destroying two Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles in the Zaporozhye area.
The MoD said that the vehicles’ whereabouts were promptly transmitted to the control point, from where an order was received to destroy the enemy military equipment with artillery and the Kornet anti-tank guided missile system (ATGM).
Upon hitting the Ukrainian combat vehicles, the artillery crew and that of the Kornet ATGM quickly changed their position, according to the MoD
Watch Russian Lancet Drones Wreak Havoc on Ukrainian Troops Near Dnepr River
The Lancet unmanned aerial vehicles, developed by the Russian company Zala Aero, are capable of striking enemy targets at ranges of several tens of kilometers.
Russian airborne units successfully attacked the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the right bank of the Dnepr River in the Kherson region using the Lancet kamikaze drones, also known as the Lancet loitering munitions, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) told Sputnik.
"At first, the crews of the reconnaissance drones tracked the enemy's floating equipment on the right bank of the Dnepr, from where Ukrainian troops were to be transported to the left bank for landing," the Defense Ministry reported.
The Lancet drone operators then destroyed all the targets, including scores of Ukrainian soldiers, as well as several of their motorboats, a truck and other materiel, the ministry announced.
The MoD stressed that the operators guided the drones in manual mode to avoid the slightest possibility of a delivery error.
Watch Russia's Army Attack Ukrainian Troops With Drones in Special Op Zone
Since the beginning of the special military operation, Russia has developed a wide range of drones capable of conducting battlefield reconnaissance and destroying enemies. Some of the most prominent UAVs are the Lancet loitering munition and the Upyr (lit. Vampire) drone.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense has published footage that shows the combat work of FPV drones in the special military operation zone near the village of Berestovoe, Donetsk region.
Troops successfully use a number of first-person-view kamikaze drones to conduct precise strikes on adversaries without undertaking unnecessary risks. Kamikaze drones have built-in warheads that detonate after collision, destroying the target.

Russian Su-25 jets strike Ukrainian targets
The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of what it described as Sukhoi Su-25 fighter jets striking Ukrainian forces.
The clip captured the attack aircraft operating in undisclosed airspace in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, the ministry said in a post on Telegram on Saturday.
The footage from several cameras placed on board the planes shows the Su-25 firing missiles and making evasive maneuvers while flying at extremely low altitudes.
On Sunday, a Telegram channel reporting on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine posted another video depicting Su-25s.
According to the channel, the Russian attack aircraft were filmed from a drone while performing a combat mission above the strategic town of Avdeevka, north of Donetsk.
Su-25s were introduced into the Soviet military in the mid-1970s and are still actively used by the Russian Aerospace Forces. Over the years, the plane, nicknamed ‘grach’ (rook), has earned itself a reputation as one of the country’s most reliable attack aircraft.
It has two engines and an armored underside, which protects it from surface-to-air missiles. During the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, there have been several reports of Su-25s making it back to base despite suffering heavy damage, including losing an engine.
