Its silly to say "this weapon will always defeat (or never) defeat that armor." In combat conditions, things are unpredictable. A hit might not totally penetrate into the fighting compartment but might shatter the ceramic/composite sandwich armor, therefore degrading its RHA rating, vehicle might have defects etc.
Comparing Kornet to Spire or Javelin is comparing apples and oranges. The Kornet is a low engagement cost laser beam rider while the other two are high engagement cost IR imager guided. Poland/Spain only ordered +-250 launchers and around 2500 missiles, which doesn't seem significant in the big picture.
Kornet is powerfu, because of its 150mm/7kg warhead which is comparable to TOW and aproaching that of the Hellfire (178mm/10kg.) I'm sure no tank crew would want to get shot at with one of these.
As for the RPG-29, I doubt it has any better penetration than western systems like Panzerfaust 3 etc, the rockets just fly faster so you have a better chance of hitting. These reloadable systems are heavy though, thats why most armies are going with disposable, one shot weapons.

But nevertheless Akula compare to Borei looks much higher above water.
This photo here just has to have a motivator.Some nice images from airliners.net
The real face of Ka-52 is Mi-26 chopper
Akula are always much higher above water. Their floatability reserve is unmatched among submarines. However both submarines on the photo are without missiles.
Hey Vitaliy. Where are all of your photos of different Special Ops? I cannot find them on your blog. I looked to page 15. I saw Saturn, but that's it. Where did they all go?
Su-47 is so damn sexy.Some nice images from airliners.net
Also, the black paint/camo is a pure win.
Good video of exercises of the NCMD:

Of interest is the presence of T-90s and BMP-3s. Does anybody know how prevalent the TOS-1 Buratino is in Russian units? I always thought it was a relatively specialised machine, but lately I've seen it almost in every video of army exercises (this one included)
Lots of great pictures! I cant help it but many of them really reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R shadow of Chernobyl!
