The Kornet E, a laser guided missile with a range of 5,000 meters. The launcher has a thermal sight for use at night or in fog. The missile's warhead can penetrate 1200 mm of armor, which means that the front and side armor of the U.S. M-1 Abrams tank would be vulnerable. The missile weighs 18 pounds and the launcher 42 pounds. The system was introduced in 1994 and has been sold to India and Syria (who may have slipped a few to Iraq).
that's what I'm thinking ... it is my prime suspect in the penetration of M1's in Iraq involved in non-tank battles ... I think it is the AT-14 but my recollection may be faulty ... I'll bet the serial numbers, if they left the canisters behind, could be traced to Syria or Iran, which at one time supplied Syria heavily ...
Does the Kornet E come with the neat hat?
1200 mm is almost 4 feet. That's pretty thick armor.
