Hezbollah

Defence Industry Europe exposed the problem encountered by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) when advanced anti-tank missiles are being used against villages on the Lebanese and Gaza frontlines. An attack on Saturday by Hezbollah in Lebanon on the Israeli Air Force (IAF) main radar station, which controls most of the aerial traffic in Israel, proved that the problem has to be addressed as soon as possible. The IAF main radar station on Mount Meron in Northern Israel was attacked by the longer-range version of the Kornet anti-tank missile. The Kornet-EM anti-tank missile has a range of up to 10 km and rides on a jam-resistant laser beam.

While the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) tanks and armored vehicles are protected by active protection systems against rockets and missiles, infantry soldiers and civilians have become targets for these missiles operated by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. The Russian-made Kornet anti-tank missile is one of the many weapon systems operated by these two groups. Hezbollah has launched many of these missiles against Israel since the war began, injuring and killing IDF soldiers in the process.

The Kornet, the most recent iteration of the Sagger anti-tank missiles manufactured in Russia, which Israel encountered during the Yom Kippur War, uses a laser beam for self-guidance.
