The NGDD (New Genoese Defense Department) has, over the series of several months, developed the Kornet-2 anti-armor missile, which will replace the Kornet-E missile currently in use by the New Genoese Military. The missile uses a new advanced propellent to increase penetration.

Kornet-2 is a fourth generation system. It is designed to destroy tanks, including those fitted with explosive reactive armour (ERA), fortifications, entrenched troops as well as small-scale targets. The system can be fitted to a variety of tracked and wheeled vehicles, including the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, as well as serving as a standalone, portable system. The self-propelled Kornet missile system is manufactured by the Greyhound Defense Industries.

Missile
The launcher fires Kornet-2 missiles with tandem shaped charge HEAT warheads to defeat tanks fitted with ERA or with high explosive/incendiary (thermobaric effect) warheads, for use against bunkers, fortifications and fire emplacements. Armour penetration for the HEAT warhead is stated to be 1600 mm. Range is 6km.

The missile has semi-automatic command-to-line-of-sight (SACLOS) laser beamriding guidance, flying along the line of sight to engage the target head on in a direct attack profile.


Price is 7,000 USD and 5,000 USD for APTO members.

Comparisons with TOW?

Good good!

I'll get 150,000 missiles

Total is $1.05 billion

OOC:
Wouldnt a Khrizantema 2 be more promising? After all Kornet is the "quantity" missile, Khrizantema is the "quality" missile.

Comparisons with TOW?This has more range (TOW has 3.8km) and this penetrates more armor than the TOW.

Good good!

I'll get 150,000 missiles

Total is $1.05 billionVery well. Money has been received and the shipment process has commenced. Expect missiles to be delivered soon.

Thank you, money transaction confirmed.

TOW can target from above hence penetrating where the armour is weakest.

I'll take 200,000 missiles.
*money wired*

The NGDD has received the money required, and will begin the shipping process of the missiles to New Empire.

OOC: B00MP!

OOC:
I use AT-17, a souped up AT-11, for my 135 and 140mm guns.

It can kill abrams at 6km.

I will take 5000 of these missiles for test purposes. If they are up to our standards we will look to purchase more in future. Payment wired upon confirmation.

Confirmed.
