anti-tank guns
Destroy armored vehicles
Anti-tank guns are artillery weapons designed to destroy armored vehicles, particularly tanks.
They emerged in World War I and dominated tank warfare until guided missiles largely replaced them.
The term covers both towed guns and those mounted on vehicles.
Modern militaries still use some anti-tank guns, though shoulder-fired rockets and missiles now handle most anti-armor roles.
