9M143 Korone Anti-Tank Missile
9M143 “Короне”
9M143 “Korone” is a Kliegmean man-portable third-generation anti-tank guided missile. It has a fire-and-forget capability using an infrared imaging seeker and has a tandem-warhead to defeat explosive reactive armor. The Korone has a top attack and direct attack modes.
The Korone’s most notable feature is a strong imaging infrared seeker providing its fire-and-forget capability, which is capable of identifying and firing upon targets from 3.5 kilometres away. It uses a smokeless propellant, which allows it to be fired from inside a building.
The Korone’s HEAT tandem warhead can penetrate 900 mm of RHA beyond defeating ERA, which makes it capable of penetrating most armour of modern main-battle tanks.
It is capable of being mounted on a vehicle, be it a Light Utility Vehicle, an APC/IFV, or a Helicopter.
Currently, it is only used by the Kliegmean Armed Forces.
