The spelling 'Cornet' appears in several articles on the Internet and should probably appear in both the article and 'Cornet' disabiguation. Also, is 'Kornet' the Russian/Slavic spelling for 'Cornet'? 89.0.216.89 11:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC) Roy

Right, 'Kornet' is 'Cornet' in russian. --Super.zhid 05:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Here is an article saying Hizbollah were using it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/08/15/wmid15.xml

So, if telegraph says it has been used, we should accept newspaper's writings as true? Where is russians admitting it was used? Where is Israelis showing ANYONE those Kornets found? NOWHERE, so, please, do not rush to add Hizbollah to Kornet users, it was never proven to anyone. And regarding the supposed "evidence" on this page, that russians supposedly tightened control over foreign countrys users of equipment, it very well might be all about RPG-29, and not Kornet, we can not make a conclusive claim that it was about Kornet here, hence we can not claim that Kornet was used by Hezbollah. Also, new control law might be a preemptive measure. It has been rumored Kornet has ben used, not proven. So, unless wikipedia wants to be a place where rumors are being displayed as truth without evidence, then sure, let's add back that Hezbollah has been using Kornet.

Kornet has NOT been proven to be in Hezbollah and Israel conflict, why does the page say it was? It was NEVER proven by Israel. RPG-29 Vampire, yes, but Kornet, never.

Despite the claims by the russian goverment , It has been proven that kornets were used in the Israel-Hizbollah conflict in 2006 .You can even find in the web pictures taken by soldiers in the war showing Kornet boxes that were found in Lebanon , for instance just a short googling found me this page : http://picasaweb.google.com/anerster/aezEDI/photo#5123415310257151778 .

This is a photo album taken by an independent soldier , you can clearly see the 9M133-1K writing on the box , The hebrew writing underneath says " שלל : גדוד 931 " that means " Booty : regiment 931" , regiment 931 is part of the compulsory division "Nahal".

I've seen some more pictures in the past , and heard personal testimonies of soldiers that've seen the boxes. 84.108.98.100 (talk) 14:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
