This is quite interesting as I have always been convinced that the Russians definitely have for long deployed general-purpose infantry guided missiles (GPIGM) for general-purpose roles on the battlefield.

These missiles would

1- be lighter than the lightest ATGMs,
2- have a smaller multipurpose warhead,
3- have a range at least slightly better than sniper rifles, and
4- be relatively fast.

Orr what about something like this. USN Spike, basically can be integrated in any platform you wish.

"Spike" doesn't meet the 3rd and the 4th requirements. Especially, its "real", "potential" performance figures, as opposed to the "published" figures, will fall substantially short of the 3rd and the 4th requirements. Its "potential" speed would be well below Mach 0.5 and its "potential" range below 500 m.

The missiles I was referring to would have a real range of around 2 km and would be supersonic, possibly close to Mach 2.

Well according to declassified files its supposed to have range of around 2 miles. Warhead truly is light but thats what we want here, right. And when its about speed... 240ish m/s, its not that bad, Kornet-M has speed abit under 300m/s.

And soon came this map with the whole area now under SAA control....probably some kind of SAA thunderbolts struck the remaining area and cleansed it  


Seems like SAA took out the heads of the chickens and the rest collapsed in no time.

Putin: Barrack and now say S-400, S-400

The Syrian President warned that the country will respond to a military invasion. He added that Damascus would be considered terrorists by foreign troops who illegally penetrate into Syria.

Turkey has the right to carry out military operations not only in Syria, but in any other country, which is hosting terror groups that threaten the Turkish state, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

“Turkey has every right to conduct operations in Syria and the places where terror organizations are nested with regards to the struggle against the threats that Turkey faces,” Erdogan was cited as saying by the Hurriyet newspaper.
