9M33

The 9M33 is a Russian anti-tank guided missile system designed for use by armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. It is part of the Kornet family of anti-tank weapons, which also includes the 9M133 Kornet and the 9M120 Ataka.

The 9M33 missile is launched from a tube mounted on the vehicle, with the operator loading the missile, setting the fuzing, and launching it. The missile is guided by an infrared homing head, which locks onto the target's heat signature. The missile has a maximum range of 2,500 meters and can engage targets at ranges up to 1,500 meters.

The 9M33 missile is designed to penetrate the armor of modern main battle tanks, making it a significant threat to armored vehicles. It is also effective against lightly armored vehicles and infantry.

The 9M33 missile system is used by a number of countries, including Russia, Belarus, and India. It has been exported to several other countries, including Algeria, Egypt, and Syria.

The 9M33 missile system is a significant addition to the Russian military's arsenal of anti-tank weapons. It is designed to counter the threat posed by modern main battle tanks and other armored vehicles, and has been praised for its effectiveness and reliability. However, like all weapons, it also poses a risk to friendly forces if used improperly.
