An analysis of the Kornet-D.


Defense 24 has an analysis of the Kornet-D.  You can read it here but this part has me confused...
It is reported that the system is multifunctional as it can cause fire both for terrestrial and marine, and even air (objectives are to be in this case, helicopters and drone).
The time needed to move from position to position combat march is (theoretically) just 7 seconds and a response time of 4-6 seconds.
I get the part about it being multifunctional but the highlighted section just has me spinning.  Maybe my Google Translate let me down but I'm just not getting the meaning of this.

Regardless.  The Kornet-D is looking like a capable weapon system.  The decision to quad pack them on their high mobility vehicles is genius.  Add this to the headaches that future planners will have to deal with...not only do they have to grapple with highly mobile anti-tank teams but the realization that all the investment in UAVs is being threatened by a very prolific anti-tank system.

Grey Eagle pilots and staff planner should be worried...that networked, ISR network is being put under the gun...or should I say missile.
