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 shaped charges and kinetic energy projectiles, to penetrate armor and cause significant damage. These weapons play a crucial role in modern warfare, allowing infantry and smaller units to counter larger armored forces effectively. Examples include anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and land mines, which can be deployed strategically to protect areas from enemy tank advances.
