With bad guidance performance cant be good. Thats why no one buys that except beggas Syria.
So system is bad and Syria bought it because they are "beggas"? OK I get it.
If you seriously believe that in combat situation u will target specific spot of mobile target then you are really nuts.
What specific? It is, front, or side.
So u just confirm that its not necessary to repeat "after ERA" all the time. For tandem warhead its obvious.
? No. They explicitly state capabilities and is done as that by KBP. Whatever marketing figures can give other companies, is not related.
This ERA does not work against tandem. 700 mm tandem is super overkill.
It shows not specifically ERA variant but it´s location on a tank. And modern tanks have anti-tandem ERA in full effectiveness. It can be easily upgraded on any tank.
It does attack I can show u videos.
I will be pleased to watch.
Sensor on missile can see Kornets laser but sensor on tank cant? MAGIC?
Merkava sensors works against beam ride. I showed u link.
Kornet is directly looking at laser beam. Merkava will not detect such a weak radiation unless it hits directly on the apparate, which is impossible. If you modify sensor to detect such a weak laser, it will be giving false signals all the time it sees any sort of radiation in the battlefield, even those not directed against it.
TOW has double warhead attacking top. No tank in the workd can survive. Last time I repeat that.
Then I will not argue more, but your knowledge on that is very limited.
Cases with LOS view beyond 4.5 km are extremelly rare. Thats why US did not bother to make.
US could not make an effective system the same they cannot make missiles of 120mm diameter.
In order to guide Kornet u should also see the target. Difference is that Kornets gudance emits laser and can be detected by sensors, while guidance of TOW does not emit and cant be detected.
Kornet follows not target, but laser beam. And system has filters which are not affected by IR disruption. Tow can.
Its useful only in 5% of cases in ideal weather and no smoke. In real battle conditions it will be useful in less han 1% of cases.
The system has a thermal camera which is not affected by smoke or weather.
US exports much more weapons than Russia despite higher prices.
To another Nato countries in behalf of alliance and weapon compatibility. Still think it´s objective?.
That only proves that everyone who wants to buy Russian weapons can easily do so. Even South Korea wth American bases in it.
South Korea has no Nato obligations. I made it an example because despite big US technology influx it still chooses Russia.
India currently is chosing between Spike and Javelin as man portable missile. It does not even consider Metis-M.
Evaluation trials... When they´ll buy and use, then will discuss.
They used T-55 and T-62 which u called "overkill". And these tanks failed miserably against western counterparts.
T-55 is a designation. Tank changed so many times it is not comparable. Same as 1979 Leopard and today´s.
In those wars they were not modern, and for example they were underpowered in gun caliber. Neither there were soviets there so what relation?.
T-80UM is not serial tank is experimental built after the fall of USSR. Stop arguing with obvious, thats pathetic.
Serial models from Omsk produced until 1992-4?. It proves that thermals were available. And experimental tanks are not new build.
1992. And not mass produced.
Revealed in 1992. Developement was earlier.
Lahat has lofted attack and bigger range. It wins.
Launched from tank it is the same as Arkan.
So u still insist on ur ignorance. No one buys ur Metis-M.
Between Russia and Syria they probably produced in higher cuantity than Spike.
Top attack 1000mm >>>>>>>>>>> front attack 1200 mm.
Why do you think it will always hit in the front, and Spike will always hit in vulnerable turret part?.
In case of Kornet, fire from 30 degrees of frontal arc is already ensured destruction in Western tanks.
While driving its very easy to lose LOS and stabilization. At very long ranges chanse to lose LOS is almost 100%.
It is not easy because it is automatic. All needed is to maintain an uninterrupted sight.
U should ot drive anywhere. Just mask down.
A vehicle cannot remain stationary.
If you use Spike in russian scenario in place of Kornet, it will be LOS, stationary and vulnerable. That´s why Spike is only useful in specific mountainous terrain.
Ieven if not in sight, it is vulnerable to helicopters as stationary it is.
Helicopter can survive anti tank warhead? LOL. Superior accuracy of Spike is much more important.
Good luck hitting a flying target with manual (TV (!)) guidance. And Kornet anti-air missile is faster and 10km range.
Displays are cheap. And u can attack different targets simultaneously. Unlike Kornet.
Missiles with seekers are not. How you are going to do that with individual manual TV guidance?
. Kornet has automatic guidance with networked missiles by computer.
From ranges over 5 km u can see only one pixel. Useless thing. Spike allows u to come closer see well and sellect the desired target.
Kornet camera is automatic, and zoom is optic, not digital, so no pixels. Computer easily recognizes targets. Spike requires to fly around searching manually.
So going to explain? and we are not considering third systems.
Light armored vehicle in LOS is vulnerable. Spike will kill it easily
Long range Spike is easy to avoid.
Its in covered position. Super safe.
On what scenario? In Kornet´s certainly won´t.
I repeat. In order to guide Kornet u should see the target. If target masks itself by smoke u wont be able to guide it. Difference of Kornet from Spike and TOW is that Kornet emites and herefore can be detected by sensors. Spike and TOW dont emit and cant be detected by sensors.
Aerosol will only appear after launch (Kornet will not activate it anyway). Even if will, Kornet is looking back at the laser, not at target, so it would be still possible to hit.
Spike and Tow in the same position will see nothing cause they´ll loose target to guide at.
No u cant. It does not exists.
How not? it is on sale, call factory, and they will produce. Process is same as with Spike, unless you imply that clients are buying second hand.
U
are really funny of u think that u can shot down tinny fast and low flying target with Igla.
It´s not fast + seen at range + with fragmentary warhead you do not need even to hit.
More expensive than Pantsyr?
Ur dobious effectiveness based only on your dobious fantasies.
No pantsyr, Igla, Shilka, cannons in typical armored formations. Trophy against ATGM does nothing, and it damages with friendly fire.
