A representative of the Russian enterprise at the recent army-2024 forum stated that the rocket is used from drones, and its range is 4-8 km. The combat part is 6 kg, the type is fragile-fugitive, affects light-hearted equipment, dugouts and fortifications. According to the Militarnyi portal, the rocket can be used for land and surface purposes, in particular on the accumulation of living force.
The main design solutions for the new rocket were borrowed from 9m133 "Cornet-D" rockets, but its weight increased from 26 to 32 kg. "The mass of the variable combat part remains approximate and is 6 kg in the fragmentation version. Thermobaric-lighter and weighs up to 3. 2 kg," analysts said.
According to them, the data in the published ballots may be incorrect, which indicates, among other things, the difference between the weight of the rocket in the transport and icon container and without 10 kg. The rocket is controlled with a reflected laser beam - the drone illuminates the target to hit. A similar mechanism is implemented in the managed ammunition "Krasnopil". According to this principle, the projectile can affect the targets up to 8 km and up to 4 km in height.
For the first time, the work on the aviation version of the Cornet-D missile became known in 2021, when the Russian media published frames of test launches by the Orion Reconnaissance and Reconnaissance and Reconnaissance Drone. It was then reported that the rocket was tested on the base of the Forpost drone and KA-52M shock helicopter. It should be reminded that in the Russian troops was presented the SDRC "shell" with miniraces for the interception of UAV.
