anti-tank weapon

An anti-tank weapon is a device designed to disable or destroy armored vehicles like tanks. It typically uses a powerful projectile, missile, or rocket that penetrates the tank’s armor, which is specifically engineered to withstand enemy fire. These weapons can be portable, handheld systems or mounted on vehicles or aircraft, allowing forces to target and neutralize tanks from a distance. They play a vital role in modern warfare by balancing the threat posed by heavily armored vehicles, helping infantry and smaller units counteract otherwise dominant enemy armor effectively.
