Modern Anti-Tank Weapons

Modern Anti-Tank Weapons August 2023

This is a book (mostly) about anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM). Historically, ATGMs have been the best weapon an infantryman could use to defeat enemy tanks. That said, combat witnessed over the past year has shown that even inexpensive ($300) commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) can be used effectively to deliver an explosive that disables a heavily armored main battle tank. So, we included some Chinese, Russian, and Iranian Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles, and the Blue Unmanned Aerial Systems that have been vetted through the U.S. DoD On Ramp process. We also tossed in a few interesting RPGs. All weapons are listed by country of design or initial manufacture.
