Anti-tank weapons are specialized military tools designed to destroy or disable armored vehicles, such as tanks. These weapons can be handheld, like rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), or mounted on vehicles and aircraft. They use various technologies, including explosives and guided missiles, to penetrate the armor of tanks and other armored targets. These weapons play a crucial role in modern warfare, providing infantry and smaller units the capability to counter larger armored forces. Examples include anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and shoulder-fired weapons, which allow soldiers to engage tanks from a safe distance, enhancing their effectiveness on the battlefield.
