Comments by "verdebusterAP" (@verdebusterAP) on "How Russia’s Kornet Missile Launcher Works" video.
@AyOuB.God-soldier The Javelin costs more but you also get more with the Javelin The Javelin has multi-purpose warhead (MPWH) which can be used in any model A through F. The MPWH has both anti-material and anti-personnel capability in one missile whereas the Kornet needs multiple missiles to engage various targets. So if you have Kornet with HEAT loaded but are suddenly faced with personnel You either need to unload and load Thermobaric or Blast Fragmentation or have another launcher loaded Thermobaric or Blast Fragmentation Whereas the Javelin can simply engage the threat without having to change missiles Second the Javelin has soft launch capability which allows to be fired from enclosed spaces , The Kornet can't be fired from an enclosed space They can literally open up window and shoot. As the missile is soft launch, its harder for the enemy to track it launch position but most importantly, the Javelin is fire and forget. An ATGM can immediately displace whereas the Kornet has to remain stationary So those 29 missiles in the end can't do much
