The RK-3 "Corsar"[1] (Ukrainian: РК-3 "Корсар") is an Ukrainian anti-tank missile being tested for the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
25 July 2013, "Luch" has conducted a live firing test of its new antitank missile system “Corsar” at a firing range near Kiev.[4][2]
In November 2013, Polish Army was interested in acquiring the system.[1]
Corsar is likely to replace Russian/Soviet anti-tank systems such as the 9M113 Konkurs and 9K111 Fagot.
