Javelin, Cornet and Spike

75

FGM-148 or Chevlin is the first American serial portable complex (ATGN) of the 3 generation. It is designed to destroy protected objects (bunkers, long-term fire points), flying low-speed air targets (unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters), but primarily armored vehicles. This ATGM was developed in the United States from 1986, the concern Javelin Joint Venture, FGM-148 was created to replace the M47 Dragon, which was in service with the US Army from the 1975 of the year. Was adopted by the US Army in 1996 year. Widely used during the fighting in Iraq.

Initially it was planned to put in the ground forces and the US Marine Corps about 74 thousands of these ATGMs over 6 years. But in the future, delivery volumes were more than doubled, and the delivery period was extended to 11 years. It was assumed that "Cevlin" will be exported in quantities of 40 - 70 thousand units. However, the cost of one rocket turned out to be about 80 thousand US dollars, which is a third higher than the price declared by the manufacturer when adopting the army.

The missiles of the FGM-148 complex are created on the principle of "shot and forgot." To this end, they are equipped with infrared homing heads. The missiles are made according to the classic aerodynamic design - with wings spreading. They are capable of attacking targets along a gentle and hinged trajectory, which in combination with a powerful tandem cumulative warhead allows them to hit all modern Tanks. The “soft start” system allows starting from the premises.

Javelin, Cornet and Spike

Combat deployment of the complex includes the following operations:

  1. Connection launcher and transport and launch container with a rocket.
  2. Removing the end cover of the transport and launch container.
  3. the inclusion of the complex and the cooling of the homing head.
  4. Make a "seize the target" and choose the type of attack.
  5. Press the "start" key.

This complex has the following advantages:

  1. It is possible to direct the missile in bad weather conditions, high smoke and terrain at night. This is a huge advantage over similar 2-generation complexes, which are not equipped with a thermal sight.
  2. Missile guidance is performed without active target illumination, which does not unmask the launch site of the rocket and does not provoke the activation of a smoke screen on armored vehicles.
  3. As a rule, a rocket hits armored vehicles in the least protected upper part. Because of this, the residual cumulative jet has a high damaging power even after piercing armor.
  4. The missile is absolutely insensitive to the active protection means that exist today, which do not control the upper part of the armored vehicles.
  5. The rocket does not react to the means of opto-electronic suppression, since the guidance system does not perceive the modulated signal, since it is directed at the infrared source of the far side of the spectrum (engine, exhaust system).

And disadvantages:

  1. ATGM can hit targets only in the line of sight. And this casts doubt on its combat capability over a distance of more than 1 kilometers.
  2. It is extremely irrational to use the complex for shooting at a distance of up to a kilometer of 0.5, because at such distances much cheaper and lighter hand-held grenade launchers have proven themselves well. However, with the amendment that hand grenade launchers can effectively destroy only targets with light armor.
  3. The shooter can not affect the flight of the rocket after launch. And when the target has a temperature slightly different from the temperature of the details of the relief, for example, in a desert area, the rocket may lose the target.
  4. High price. The cost of the launch device is approximately 125 thousand dollars, and the rocket around 80 thousand dollars.
  5. Before launching the rocket, it is necessary to cool the homing head, which, together with the time it takes to capture the target, is about 1 minutes.
  6. Specialists in weapons from different countries have noted the low efficiency of such systems, since a missile hit the turret of a tank, it is not ensured that it is 100% incapacitated.

"Cornet"

The anti-tank missile system 9K135 or Kornet (according to the NATO classification AT-14 Spriggan) is a development of the Tula Instrument Engineering Bureau. This is the 2 generation ATGM. It was created on the basis of the Reflex guided tank armament complex, and has basic solutions for its layout. It is intended for the destruction of tanks and other armored vehicles, including those with dynamic protection. There is a modification of "Cornet-D", which is capable of hitting air targets.

The Kornet-E ATGMs were seen fighting between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in the south of Libya in 2006.

Disadvantages of the complex:

  1. A significant weight of the launcher and missiles in TPK - about 50 kilograms.
  2. The ATGM is guided to the target by a laser beam, which unmasks the installation position.
  3. The installation calculation consists of two people.

Advantages:

  1. The relatively low cost of the rocket and launcher is about 30 thousand US dollars.
  2. It is possible to adjust the flight on the march.
  3. Confident defeat of targets at ranges up to 5.5 kilometers.
  4. High armor penetration - up to 1200 millimeters of homogeneous armor, which allows you to hit any of the currently existing tanks.

Spike

Anti-tank missile system 3 generation "Spike" - the development of the Israeli company "Rafael". It is intended for the destruction of tanks, fortifications and engineering structures, as well as any other purposes.

The thermal homing head of the rocket is located in the nose of the rocket, behind it is the electronics unit and the pre-cumulative charge, followed by the cruise engine. In the central part of the housing is a gyroscope and battery compartment. Behind the central compartment in which the folding wings of the rocket are located, there is a main shaped charge with cocking automation and fuse. Folding steering wheels and steering gears, starting motor and fiber-optic cable reel are located in the tail section of the hull.

A key feature of the Spike ATGM is the ability of fiber-optic data transmission to the launcher to the operator and the ability to control the flight of the rocket and the hijacking of the target by the homing head after launch. This greatly expands the range of its combat use.

Of the advantages of the complex should be noted:

  1. No need to cool the infrared homing head before starting.
  2.  There are four modifications of the rocket with a different range.
  3. The ability to change the target after the launch of the rocket, taking into account the changing priorities in battle.
  4. The possibility of obtaining intelligence in real time and the possibility of identifying the target.
  5. According to manufacturers, an extremely high degree of accuracy of hitting - you can choose not only the goal, but also a specific point on it.
  6. The possibility of capturing a target after launching a rocket from a closed position.
  7. The ability to self-destruct rocket if necessary.

Disadvantages:

  1. The high price of both the launcher and the rocket is about 250 thousand US dollars.
  2. Extremely complex production technology, which does not allow for mass production of systems.
  3. Complexity of complex management. Special operator training is required.

    the author is not quite right in the analysis (the rest is a selection of characteristics).
    ATGM is aimed at the target by a laser beam, which unmasks the installation position for a cornet, this is not a correct observation, the missile is not guided by the reflected beam (which unmasks and allows the use of boosting, but is oriented in the laser beam (that is, the laser beam directly hits the missile’s receiver and is a command beam). it is necessary to keep the sight on the target for capturing the seeker for 25-30 seconds, which would personally bother me (as an operator) and is not always possible in a real battle.

      In general, javelin is not correctly compared with Cornet - a different weight category.


      And with what to compare it? Maybe they have almost the same weight categories with AGS.

            Which is also strange. It is interesting what they consider under the warhead. Less armor penetration on a javelin is compensated by the fact that (quote from the article): a rocket hits armored vehicles in the least protected upper part. Due to this, the residual cumulative stream has a high striking power even after penetrating the armor.
            The missile is absolutely not sensitive to the existing active defense equipment that does not control the upper part of the armored vehicles.

            Its main drawback, in my opinion, is an unrealistic cost for this type of weapon. In the cornet, of course, it would be good to reduce weight. Yes, and laser guidance increases the likelihood of detection, and hence the death of the operator.

              I’m thinking - missiles that strike from a dive can
              get into a moving tank? No matter how many videos I watched,
              always a standing target. Unlike those who beat

                So all the videos of firing any anti-tank missiles at a standing target. And I don’t see the reasons for the problems of hitting a moving target - the homing head is present. Maybe a light jeep on a wildly maneuvering could evade, but not a tank.

                    I also saw those dances. Although I can't remember jumping. A tank can be fast, but it cannot change the direction of movement abruptly - inertia of several tens of tons is not a joke. Jeep - I brought this as a flight of fantasy in ideal conditions, when the driver knows that he needs to wildly maneuver, the car is as light as possible, etc. The rocket is adjusting its course until the last moment, so I do not believe that the tank will be able to "dodge".

      Neighing ... did you go to school? Imagine what is light reflection and what is the angle of reflection at the angle of incidence? And also think about the question of the surface of the technique and possible angles of reflection, as well as how to get the reflected beam of a laser from a moving surface with a different refraction of 10 cm into the guidance head of a moving rocket ... (although the cornet does not even have a receiving matrix);) )))

          It is necessary to compare the comparable. ATGM "Spike" exists in 6 versions. An analogue of the portable Kornet-E / EM ATGM is the Spike-ER modification. This Israeli ATGM has a PU weight of 30 kg, an ATGM mass of TPK of 34 kg, a maximum launch range of 8000 m, armor penetration of about 1000 mm (Colombians called the figure 980 mm). The ATGM “Kornet-E / EM” has a weight of PU 26 kg, a mass of ATGMs in a TPK 29 kg / 33 kg, a maximum launch range of 5500 m / 10000 m, armor penetration up to 1200 mm / 1300 mm.
          This is not the first time you have been claiming "the difference in price is only 2 times." Where did they get it? Can you name the exact price of the Spike-ER modification rocket? Or do you know the exact price of Russian missiles? Share the links?

            Don’t be offended if I repeat my comment?
            Regarding the cost of Spike, not so simple. In the USSR, usually the cost of the product did not include the costs of the NKR, the State Planning Commission planned, the ministry allocated money and the design bureau created the product. Further, the product went into production and the price is defined as materials and labor (roughly speaking). A couple of years ago I came across an article on the development of an RPG-7, I was very impressed with the number of research institutes and the people who worked to create this product. If you include all the costs of developing an RPG-7, then it would be worth its weight in gold. But this is history and today it doesn’t matter how much the development cost since there is an excellent result.
            In the West, the cost of NKR is included in the final cost of the product, the best example of this is the F-22. And so Spike, (Javelin costs about $ 80'000, Cornet $ 40'000) On January 10, 2007, Spain announced that it was buying 2600 Spike missiles and 260 PUs from Raphael for $ 424.5 million. If we assume that the launcher is worth like two missiles, then not taking into account simulators, training, etc. the cost of a shot will be about $ 130'000.
            India bought 321 launchers, 8356 missiles and 15 simulators for a billion dollars, which makes a shot cost about $ 100'000. Not a little, but Spike will be more advanced than Javelin in both firing range and homing system. In general, it is necessary to compare the cost of the ATGM with the cost of the tank, its maintenance and the cost of training the crew. And then $ 130'000 won't seem like much. In 2006 and 2008, the IDF used Spikes against the fortified positions of the "freedom fighters" and even managed to lose one in Lebanon (they simply forgot). The MO quickly requested a cheap alternative and received mini Spikes.


            Here is an authoritative published report:
            "March 2009: The deal is announced. Peru will reportedly buy 244 of Russia's laser-guided AT-14 / 9M133 Kornet anti-tank missiles for $ 25 million. Another 244 of RAFAEL's dual-mode wire-guided or IIR (Imaging Infrared) fire -and-forget Spike missiles will bought for $ 48 million. "
            (translation: March 2009 of the year: A deal was announced. Peru announces the purchase in Russia of 244 AT-14 / Cornet 9М133 laser-guided 25 million dollars. Other 244 dual-mode cable-guided or infrared seeker-launched missile rake-forget Spike will be purchased for 48 million dollars).

            Since the same number of missiles was purchased, the number of launchers should be approximately the same (information about 24 launchers of Spikes passed), which makes the price ratio of 1 to 2.
            Peru Orders Israeli, Russian Anti-Tank Missiles

            In the 2010 year, it was reported that Peru bought 288 Cornets for $ 23.7 million and 288 Spikes for $ 55.8 million (there were no reports on the number of launchers and simulators).

              . In general, it is necessary to compare the cost of anti-tank systems with the cost of the tank, its contents and the cost of training the crew.


              Silent, silent, but I can’t get past this
              In the process of operation, the tank can perform a lot of tasks, release more than one hundred shells to suppress dozens of firing points in that comb and ATGM


              Missile ATGM can not destroy the tank completely and damage --- then its cost should be compared with the cost of repair?
              It can be reflected by the elements of dynamic protection --- then it must be compared with the block DZ
              The process of equipping the AZ tanks begins, with a real threat from the same Javelins, this will be done faster --- for example, the Korean one costs 600 000 dollars but it is REUSABLE--
              Detection of attacking ammunition - combined - using radar with thermal imaging correction

              So it’s not necessary to exaggerate this way, not talking about the price of spent ATGMs on exercises with which to compare them (the simulator is of course super but real is important)

              here it may well be that with the cost of training spare parts and so on, but it doesn’t turn out very sour. + simulators, etc.
              You need to look at the specific text of the contract and it certainly will not say anything.

              Quote: professor
              Regarding the cost of Spike, not so simple.

              Firstly. It is completely pointless to rely solely on export prices. There is no single, unshakable and universal export price for all buyers. Spike and Cornet-E have been shipped abroad since 1999. What, during this period, have the prices not changed? In addition, export contracts can contain many hidden offset programs. What, and how much, to understand in such contracts is completely impossible.
              There is no doubt that the Spike complex is expensive. Under a 2003 contract for which about 400 million dollars were paid, the Poles receive 264 launchers and 2675 Spike-LRs (not even ERs). For that money, this is the cost of about 130 T-90S tanks.
              Secondly. It will not be possible to compare with Spain. The fact is that two types of ATGMs were acquired under this contract - Spike-LR and Spike-ER, with different amounts of anti-tank systems and ATGMs. There is no breakdown of this contract. To base the price on speculation, there is no sense whatsoever.
              Thirdly. Who says PU costs two missiles? Again the assumption. Spike ATGM has sophisticated on-board target recognition equipment (as part of the CLU), and its ATGM has GOS + HVAC. Whereas PU Kornet-E anti-tank missile system does not contain any elements of such complexity. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to compare the price of the Kornet photodetector and the Spike gos.
              Fourth. The only, relatively correct comparison in price is possible if we compare domestic supplies. For example, Kornet missiles for Russian aircraft cost two times less than export modifications. http://www.kbptula.ru/rus/kbp/news/newsr66.htm.
              Quote: professor
              In 2010, it was reported that Peru purchased

              The Peruvian deal, too, can not say anything. According to TsAMTO, two modifications of the Israeli Spike-MR / Spike-LR ATGM were purchased. A breakdown by quantity and price, again no. And, in addition, the direct analogue of the Kornet-E complex is Spike-ER, which is not present here at all.

                Summing up everything that you have listed, we can say that the real value of Spike and Cornet is not known, and therefore the statements that Spike is more expensive than Cornet and all the more so are groundless in 5-7 times.

                The only, relatively correct comparison in price is possible if we compare domestic supplies.

                    If I was correctly transferred, it turns out that it is about the fact that one Spike-LR shot costs $ 100000, not a complex. Then you can figure out - 2675 ATGMs cost $ 26750000 million. The total amount of the contract is 397 million. Subtract the price of all missiles from it and it turns out that 264 launchers cost $ 12950000 million or $ 490530 each ... Not bad.

                        Do you know the terms of this contract? Where can I read about the details? Open sources report that in Poland, 264 launchers and 2675 anti-tank missiles will be produced. All for the needs of the Armed Forces of Poland. Those. limited number of products, without the right to sell to third countries. And are you sure this is not a screwdriver assembly? In Poland and the GOS will themselves, from scratch, produce thermal imaging equipment of the CLU module?
                        And about Peruvian missiles, I already answered you above - there are two types of Spike-MR / Spike-LR ATGMs, without breakdown, but in Poland there is one. Actually, you yourself cited this example, and it definitely says only one thing - the cost of one ATGM is $ 100000 (at the same time, this missile has a maximum long-range launch - 4000 m, maximum armor-piercing. - 700 mm). At the price of PU in half a million dollars, I do not insist (although I do not exclude it). I just showed you all the charm of such a straightforward calculation.

                  Imagine, I agree, I believe that they are groundless. In such matters, it is necessary to rely on official sources. For example, in the words of Academician Shipunov. In an article “VP” 1/1999, he argues that the export modification of the Kornet-E ATGM missile is 3-3 times cheaper than the European ATGW-4 / LR missile. I believe that with the similarity of the guidance systems ATGW-3 / LR and "Spike-ER" this can be considered an adequate assessment.

          And adjusted for current courses, etc. - I don’t even know what the prices are.
          In general, Israeli military equipment looks much stronger than American and more real. But the difference in concept itself makes comparison difficult.
          For the same money, I personally would choose a Tiger with a dual-channel Cornet D complex with 8 missiles. It’ll come out for money like Spike ... One or one + spare rocket .. Something like that.

      In opposition to ATGM, the T-90 has an advantage over all Western tanks. Having smaller dimensions, as well as the T-90, for the first time in the world, it is equipped with the Shtora-1 optical-electronic suppression system. This complex reliably protects the tank from guided and homing shells and missiles with laser or infrared guidance systems, such as "TOW", "Milan", "Dragon", "Djavelin", "Maverik", "Hellfire", "Copperhead" and others by creating active interference. During the tests of the Curtain, over 100 combat missiles of various types were fired at the tank, but none of them even hit the target. The sensors installed on the T-90 tank detect laser or infrared radiation from enemy sighting devices, within a few microseconds issue a command to shoot smoke grenades of the ZD17 type and after a few moments the tank hides in an aerosol cloud, and the tower turns towards danger.

    On the question of efficiency, even if Jewelin has better performance characteristics (not a fact, of course) than a cornet, but at a cost of more than 2 times, the calculation with a cornet can, if it misses, shoot again and at the same time spend 10 thousand bucks less. And there is no need to talk about the spike. moreover, the control system used in it through wires (even if it is optical fiber) looks anachronistic. A similar control system was possessed by the Malyutka ATGM developed in 60 years. To summarize, the cornet is more preferable for defense or actions in open areas, while the Jewelin is more suitable for maneuvering combat at medium distances, and most likely at night.
    And here's another interesting thing, why tank builders, knowing the existence of ATGMs with thermal guidance, do not put heat traps on tanks, as is done in aviation ........

      In this case, there is a model based on the Tiger - 8 missiles, two guidance channels, a convenient control compartment in the car and the ability to move around the terrain within the line of sight of the rocket after launch.
      At the same time, this machine along with 8 missiles, etc. it costs about a couple of Javelin complexes :)
      Or cheaper ...

      Further - Javelin is easier, but RUNNING with him on his shoulder also somehow will not work. I think you can step aside from Cornet on the tripod, if it’s scary ... After the launch, the javelin will have a completely unmasking effect. Moreover, this same effect will be at a distance of 2,5 km. not 5-10. Those. Western ATGMs are forced to be within the range of all types of weapons of armored vehicles - from the KPVT to tank guns.
      And Cornet, in a successful scenario, being at a distance of 5,5 kilometers or more is UNREACHABLE for the enemy.

    The information is already old (2010), and I can’t find the link, but to whom it is interesting - maybe the search engine itself is in the internet .-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
    ------------------- During the test firing in Peru on April 16, the Israeli anti-tank missile Spike fell 50 meters from the test observer of the Peruvian Defense Minister Rafael Rey and other officials and crowds of journalists. The incident, during which the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country seriously suffered, will not lead to the termination of the transaction concluded in 2009 for the acquisition of Israeli anti-tank systems, the Peruvian authorities assure. In this regard, newspapers recall the recent successful shooting of the Russian Cornets, which cost the Peruvian military almost half the price of Israeli products - and flew where necessary. Clause 2 reads the regional press with interest.

    The shooting, during which two Spike (MR / LR) missiles were launched by the Israeli company Rafael Advance Defense Systems, was carried out by the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Peru on April 16 at the Cruz del Weso training ground 45 km from the capital. In addition to the Minister of Defense and the military leadership, Congressional deputies and journalists observed the tests. Tests of Israeli military products in Peru were first held open to the press.

    The day launch was successful, and during the night the rocket flew only 100 m and fell near the observation platform - only 50 m from the guests. According to witnesses, in the dark, officials and journalists began randomly rushing to the cries of the military, "Lie down! All to the ground! ”, Which did little to help - in the turmoil, a deputy of the Congress and former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country Mercedes Cabanillas received serious damage, she needed an operation. The explosion did not happen.

    Rafael representatives apologized and explained the incident as a technical mistake. The company pledged to provide a detailed report of what happened a week later. “It was a technical malfunction, the reasons for which we are now figuring out,” said Israeli Ambassador to Peru, Yoav Bar-On. “Such things sometimes happen, and we are obliged to draw the necessary conclusions from this sad incident.” The diplomat expressed confidence that the incident would not lead to a delay in the execution of the contract.

    The Commander-in-Chief of the Peruvian Armed Forces, General Otto Guibovich, explained that “missiles of this type have on average one failure per 15 launches,” and this does not threaten the deal to buy missiles. Still - according to La Repblica, according to the terms of the deal, the Peruvian armed forces cannot terminate the contract with Rafael in case of missile problems, it only provides for the manufacturer to eliminate defects.

    According to the same newspaper, dated April 17, in 2009 the Peruvian Armed Forces purchased 288 Spike missiles and 24 launchers for them for $ 48 million. On April 21, La Repblica specified that a total of $ 55,8 million had already been transferred to the Israeli company. The Peruvian military transferred $ 23,7 million for the same number of Russian Cornets. Thus, La Repblica emphasizes, Russian ATGMs cost more than half the cost of Israel, while the Spike missile range is 4 km versus 5,5 km of the Cornet. “Cornet” successfully passed similar firing a week before the incident with the Israeli complex.

    Initially, the newspaper recalls, it was planned to purchase only complexes of Russian production, but in 2007 the then commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Peru, Edwin Donayre, insisted on acquiring both Russian and Israeli anti-tank systems.

    ATGM “Cornet-E”
    According to the report of the Israeli army, in this conflict, 46 Merkava tanks received various injuries from enemy fire (all types of impact). The RIAN agency, referring to the Hezbollah-owned radio station An-Nur, wrote that a certain "American report distributed in diplomatic missions in Lebanon claims that Israel’s officially reported data on losses in Lebanon are very underestimated," and Israel actually lost 164 tanks Merkava.
