Military Watch Magazine: Russian military have learned to successfully burn through the armor of Western vehicles
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
It’s been a learning experience for all involved.
[Regnum] The Russian military has increased its effectiveness in destroying Western armored vehicles through the use of inexpensive Kornet anti-tank missile systems. This was stated on September 9 in an article published on the Military Watch Magazine portal.

“Western armored vehicles in Ukraine are breaking down at such a rate that we have to think about increasing supplies. However, their effectiveness in practice has been called into question,” the article says.

The authors noted that the Russian army successfully destroys Western equipment by burning through its armor with inexpensive domestic Kornet anti-tank missile systems. According to journalists, it is for this reason that the United States has long been wary of sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine. And the massive destruction of these combat vehicles could cause a significant blow to the image of the American military-industrial complex.

As reported by IA Regnum, on September 9, the head of the public movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov reported that the second British Challenger 2 tank, destroyed during the fighting in the Zaporozhye region, was hit from the Kornet ATGM. He clarified that, according to preliminary data, the combat vehicle was knocked out by soldiers of the 104th regiment of the 76th Guards Air Assault Chernigov Red Banner Order of Suvorov Division.

The destruction of the first Challenger 2 tank in the Zaporozhye region became known on September 5. A British combat vehicle was hit in the Rabotino area.

#1 Military Watch Magazine is a Bulgarian junk site that is also a conduit for Russian propaganda. Not the place to get accurate military information.

#3 Leopard 2, Challenger and M1 are specifically designed to defeat Soviet/Russian anti tank missiles like the Kornet (AT 4 Spigot) in particular
