anti-tank missile
Vehicle-destroying projectile
An anti-tank missile is a guided weapon designed to destroy armored vehicles, particularly tanks.
These missiles typically use shaped-charge warheads to penetrate heavy armor.
They range from portable systems fired by infantry—like the Javelin or TOW—to larger versions launched from helicopters or vehicles.
The soldiers positioned their anti-tank missiles along the ridge overlooking the convoy route.
