PATRIOT PARK /Moscow Region/, August 16. /TASS/. The Shipunov Design Bureau, a member entity of the High Precision Weapons holding company, has developed remote control packages for the Kornet anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system, representatives of the holding company told TASS at the Army-2023 forum and exposition.
