Ukraine Tests New Anti-Tank Missile System
Ukraine on Wednesday tested a new Corsar light portable antitank missile system and is planning to complete its development work by the end of 2013.
The Corsar has a firing range of up to 2,500 meters – double that of any existing portable antitank complex. It can operate in temperatures from minus 40 to plus 60 degrees Celsius (minus 40 to plus 140 Fahrenheit), the Luch State Design Bureau spokesperson said.
“We will be able to market the system and sign contracts in 2014 if we complete development by the end of the year,” a Luch spokesperson said.
Corsar is intended “to destroy stationary and moving modern armored targets and other objects with combined, carried or monolithic armor including ERA (explosive reactive armor),” as well as helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles, which is priced at about $130,000, according to Ukraine’s state company Ukroboronservice.
