An ATGM (Anti-Tank Guided Missile) is a missile designed to destroy tanks and armored vehicles. These missiles are typically guided by wire or radio control or have an infrared seeker or laser guidance system. ATGMs are launched from ground-mounted or vehicle-mounted launchers or can be fired from helicopters and aircraft. They have a high level of accuracy and are often used by infantry or specialized anti-tank teams. The missile is essentially a small rocket that carries a warhead that can penetrate the armor of a tank or armored vehicle, causing critical damage or destruction. ATGMs have been widely used in modern military conflicts and are considered a significant threat to armored vehicles.
