At the beginning of August the handily named 90th Guards Vitebsk-Novgorod twice Red Banner Tank Division held it’s first divisional sized combat and live fire exercise at Cherbakul in the Chelyabinsk region.

The 90th division, that is stationed in the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions, was founded in 2016 and is one of the heaviest hitting Russian formations around. It has a similar structure as the 4th Kantemirovskaya Tank Division that is part of the 1st Guards Tank Army.

The latest exercise was very much a different beast. First of all, it included 7000 soldiers. The divisions motorized rifles mounted a fluid defense against an enemy mechanized force. Then they feinted back to lure the enemy into a vulnerable position. After flanking the enemy force two of the divisions three tank regiments simultaneously attacked the enemy force with 200 main battle tanks.

The attack of the two tank regiments were coordinated as a single maneuver and it was supported by the divisional reconnaissance and artillery elements including the UAV unit. The divisions battle was also supported by the Russian air-force and army aviation, with Su-24, Mi-8 and Mi-24 being physically present over the training area.

Being essentially a tested and operational Kornet launcher modules from the Tiger MRAP mated to a BMD-M Rakushka body, it's actually believable that these system could be fielded this year

Military expert Andrey Tarasenko said that the KBP (Konstruktorskoe Buro Priborostroeniya) Instrument Design Bureau is developing new self-propelled anti-tank missile carrier able to counter modern America’s M1 Abrams and German Leopard-2 main battle tanks.

Since 2013, the KBP Instrument Design Bureau is developing a new long-range anti-tank missile system called the Kornet-D1. The Russian tank hunter is based on tracked chassis of the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle.

Is expected that in 2018 the Russian Airborne Troops to receive first Kornet-D1 tank hunter to increase their ability to combat modern tanks on the battlefield.

The new tank hunter will able to destroy advanced and modern tanks fitted with explosive reactive armour, light-armoured vehicles, and fortifications. It is a simple and low-cost anti-tank missile system which has a range a range of up to 10 km.

Kornet-D1 is a laser-beam-riding system with a ‘fire-and-forget’ (*according to a press release of the KBP Instrument Design Bureau)capability that can penetrate explosive reactive armour and then penetrate 1,100-1,300 mm of conventional armour.

It is capable of launching a salvo of two missiles less than a second apart, either at a single target or at two different targets simultaneously. The two-missile salvo is intended to either defeat active protection systems or to ensure a single tank’s destruction in the absence of an active protection system.

Kornet-D1 missile carrier can fire in day/night conditions, in adverse weather conditions and when enemy uses countermeasures.

The appearance of a new Kornet-D1 self-propelled anti-tank missile carrier on the arsenal of the Russian army is a real threat to the armored units of the NATO countries.

Ukraina? Valgevene? Provokatsioonid Armeenias ja selle "kaitse" Azebaidžani eest? Mingi Kesk-Aasia vabariik, kus palju ressursse ning liiga palju kummardatakse Hiina poole?
