  1. This missile is more in the class of the TOW missile in size, range and effectiveness.

  2. Javelin maximum range is 2500 meters, and may be boosted to 4000 meters in the most advanced version.

  3. Man-portable? Yeah I suppose, if you a talking about moving it 20 meters from your Tigr. Otherwise not so much.

  4.  @kubagra456  The range depends on the flight profile selected, but could also be extended at higher altitudes, such as found in eastern Afghanistan.

  5.  RR Continued  Both are 152mm in diameter and roughly similar in length. TOW-2B is 22.6 kg and Kornet is 27 kg. Maximum range of TOW-2B is 4,500 m, Kornet is 5,500 m, Kornet-EM is 8,000 m (anti-tank). Both are effective against modern MBT's. Both are cumbersome and heavy, and require a vehicle to transport. Javelin on the other hand is 127mm in diameter, weighs 11.8 kg, has a range of 2,500 m and is actually man portable. And Javelin is fire and forget, TOW and Kornet are not.

  7.  @yeoshenghong4802  Excellent point. And the tank doesn't even need a proper active countermeasures system at that point, because it can just pop smoke grenades and move.
