Russian forces have lost a lot of modern weapons and arsenal since the day they entered Ukraine more than a month ago.
A video posted on social media over the weekend shows the new Russian-made 9P162 Kornet-T anti-tank missile carrier being destroyed in Ukraine.
This is the first known case of the Russian military losing this type of combat vehicle.

9P162 Kornet-T is equipped with an anti-tank guided missile launcher. It is designed for use against modern main battle tanks (MBTs), armored personal carriers (APCs), bunkers, cannons and artillery systems.
The latest anti-tank system is based on the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle chassis.
Kornet-T is equipped with an autoloader. A total of 16 Kornet missiles are carried on the vehicle. Twelve rockets are stored in the autoloader and four more are stored inside the hull. This missile carrier has two launchers. Both missiles can be launched against the same target. The vehicle can also attack two targets simultaneously.
During the movement, both launch tubes were retracted inside the hull.
The first Kornet-T anti-tank missile carriers were delivered in 2003. The first production batch of 20 was delivered to the Russian Army in 2012.
