Another episode of the defeat of another American Stryker armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk border area using a multi-purpose tactical missile/anti-tank missile Х-БПЛА, launched from the suspension unit of the reconnaissance and attack UAV "Inohodets-RU".
The Х-БПЛА is a modification of the 9M133M-2 ATGM of the "Kornet" complex.

Impact of a Lancet on a Leopard2 A5 in Kursk.
As we have seen, the armour penetration of a Lancet is quite poor.
However, the lancet operator is clever and descends at a steep angle on the Leopard's turret.
To mitigate the well-known problem of NATO tanks being overweight, the designers created a very thin "roof", in fact in this video you can see the destroyed upper armour of another Leopard where the thickness is clearly visible:
https://t.me/the_Right_People/35130

In addition to the thin armour, a steep angle ensures a 0 degree impact on the plane, which mitigates the effect of the actual armour being increased due to the angle.
Another problem with NATO turrets is that due to their ammunition storage and weak top armour, penetrating the turret storage container from above is very easy. The mechanisms they are equipped with may mean that the crew can be saved, but the tank will be destroyed more easily.
In this sense, the NATO design line is much more vulnerable to attack from the top.
These vulnerabilities are trying to be mitigated in the latest Leopard 2A7 and A8 models, with reinforced armour in these areas.
It is not known how much they have been reinforced, but in any case it is unlikely that they would have succeeded in defending it against truly anti-tank weapons if they hit here (the weight would be tremendously excessive), although the changes will make it more resistant against Lancets and FPVs.

It is reported that the Russian Army's strike UAV squadrons will soon be armed with modified unmanned grenade launcher systems based on heavy quadcopters equipped with РПГ-26 "Аглень" transport and launch tubes.

To maintain the accuracy of the fire when firing at a distance of 300-700 m, the copter has highly sensitive accelerometers of 3-axis stabilization. The launcher is not installed parallel to the plane of the copter frame, but at an angle of about 35 degrees, which ensures a relatively high accuracy of the fire even without complex ballistic calculations required when rocket-propelled grenades exit at an angle of -3º to 10º degrees relative to the horizon line. Only the precise adjustment of the line of sight of the optical-electronic complex relative to the longitudinal axis of theRPG-26 was carried out.

The armor penetration of the RPG-26 reaches 440 mm, which will allow it to hit almost all known models of armored vehicles in the upper projection which are not covered by developed cope-cages.

Using the thermal imaging channel of the ОПС-28М multispectral optical-electronic sighting system, the navigator operator of the Mi-28NM reconnaissance and attack helicopter detected heat-contrast armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region at a distance of approximately 6.500 m.

As a result, one of the units was attacked by a 9M127-1 "Whirlwind" anti-tank guided missile with an average trajectory speed of 470-500 m/s and armor penetration of about 1050 mm without era.

The acoustic signature of the Mi-28NM is significantly lower than that of the Ka-52M, in particular due to the machete-shaped blade tips. Also, such an aerodynamic configuration of the blades increased the speed of the machine to 330-335 km/h.

From these positions, the gun crew provided counter-battery support to the armored groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Glushkovsky District of the Kursk Region.

The third published episode in the entire period of the SMO of the use of an helicopter launched ATGM, a 9M127-1 "Whirlwind-1" in this case to intercept a heavy attack UAV, most likely a "Baba Yaga" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The navigator-operator of the Ka-52M reconnaissance and attack helicopter detected the drone by the IR signature of the engine at a distance of about 4.5-4 km using the thermal imaging channel of the GOES-451M ("ГОЭС-451М") turret optical-electronic complex. At the same time, the launch was carried out from a distance of 2750-2900 m, taking into account the average trajectory speed of the 9M127-1 Whirlwind-1 missile of about 470 m/s.

T-90M of the Russian Ground Forces operates on direct fire mode against the fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with his 125mm smoothbore 2A46M-5 main gun using ЗОФ26 HE shells during a fire support mission.

We can also pay attention to the activation and operation of the aerosol-smoke screen system (the 902 "Tucha" ("Туча") optical-electronic countermeasure system), which twice received commands to use the 81mm 3D17 "Shtora-2" (3Д17 "Штора-2") grenades based on data from the laser radiation detection station, which detected the operation of the laser rangefinder installed on the enemy's ATGM.
The smoke screen increases the attenuation coefficient of IR and laser radiation by several orders of magnitude, preventing the guidance of ATGMs, both those using a semi-automatic laser-beam guidance system like the Kornet, as well as those equipped with semi-active laser homing heads like the Javelin.

An almost complete absence of military air defense systems with an altitude limit reaching more than 5000m (including IR-ASRAAM, Stormer HVM and Crotale-NG) at the disposal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reamains in the Sudzha operational direction of the Kursk Front.

The optical-electronic sighting system in the medium-wave IR range tracks the enemy vehicle, at an echelon of 5850-6150 m.

This time, the victim was a Ukrainian tank.
The warhead of the Х-БПЛА ATGM is literally the same one as in the Kornet ATGM. The Kornet can destroy basically any armoured vehicle from any direction with ease, if we take into account the angles of impact of this air-launched version, which, falling from above, will hit lightly armoured areas, we are talking about every hit ensuring penetration.

An anti-tank modification of a promising tracked unmanned multi-purpose platform is used by one of the anti-tank units of the 42nd division in the Orekhov operational direction.

In this version, the combat module of the small-sized platform is represented by a launcher of the Konkurs-M ATGM with a modern television and thermal imaging sighting system coupled with it.
The platform is equipped with command and telemetry channels for controlling the tracked platform and the launcher guidance drives. Two secure channels for transmitting video images from the Konkurs-M sighting system and from the platform navigation cameras. The chassis layout is similar to that of the СЭМ-350 platform, but with a larger number of support rollers. The platform is equipped with a small-sized multi-range electronic warfare system.

The platform was designed by a fighter of the Dnepr Group of Forces on an initiative basis.

Hezbollah anti-tank units have resumed the use of advanced Iranian 3rd generation Almas-3 anti-tank systems, capable of operating from closed firing positions at a distance of 8,000 m, both with automatic target acquisition by means of TV/IR sensors of a multispectral optical-electronic seeker with the ability to autonomously identify a target, and with radio correction by the operator (with the ability to manually redirect to a higher priority target).

In this case, the IDF's 4x4 HMMWV high-cross-country armored vehicle with electronic equipment and ammunition is hit. An IDF infantry squad is also exposed to fire.

The Russian National Guard presents methodological infographics on counteracting various enemy armored vehicles using hand-held anti-tank weapons and small arms.

In this case, we are talking about the Polish MBT PT-91 "Twardy". As we can see, despite the dense placement of ERAWA-2 ERA elements (providing resistance from APFSDS of about 560 mm and from Shaped Charges of about 700-750mm), this vehicle still has weakened sectors.
In the area of ​​the gun mantlet and the junction of the upper and lower glacis plates, the resistance to Shaped Charges is just 300-430 mm.
These sectors can be penetrated by the PG-7VL grenade of the RPG.

The drone operator correctly chose the dive angle and contact point, which ensured that the cumulative jet of the anti-tank grenade overcame the armored dimensions of the upper frontal part of the hull. What is noteworthy is that the detonation of the vehicle's ammunition also took place.
