The Russian Ministry of Defense during the Army-2022 military-technical forum demonstrated the capabilities of the new state-of-the-art BMP K-17. During the demonstration two Kornet anti-tank missiles were fired from the vehicle, but as our colleagues from Militarny noticed, both failed to hit the target. The target was a tank. One missile flew over it, while the second missile only grazed the barrel.
