What are the characteristics of American Predator anti-tank missiles?
Predator is a single-soldier portable short-range anti-tank missile developed by the United States from 1990. Its purpose is to meet the needs of marine corps short-range anti-tank operations and urban anti-tank operations. At present, it is in the engineering manufacturing stage, and it is estimated that 200 1 armed troops will be equipped.

The total weight of the system is 8 kg, which is similar to that of a general rocket launcher. The length of the projectile is 860mm, the diameter of the projectile is 140mm, the initial velocity is 34.8m/s, the maximum flight speed is 300m/s, and the range is17 ~ 700 m. It can be launched in a narrow space and is suitable for urban street fighting. Equipped with self-forging fragment warhead and dual-mode sensor, it can attack the top of the tank.

The short-range assault weapon of the Predator missile and the Predator anti-tank missile is a single-soldier portable anti-tank missile system with a total weight of only 9.8 kg, which is specially used to deal with the main battle tanks using active reactive armor at present and in the future. Anti-tank missile adopts top-skimming attack and explodes downward at the top of the target, forming a projectile warhead. Predator missiles use lasers and magnetic fields to sense the center of the target and attack its fragile top.

Predator anti-tank missile weapon system has been studied in 10 for many years, but no truly unique technology has been adopted. Although Predator has integrated the existing technology into the weapon system weighing no more than 9.8 kilograms, it still has the ability to deal with tanks.

In the early 1990s, American Roller Airlines began to develop Predator missiles with a range of 600 meters. The purpose of developing such missiles in various countries is to replace uncontrolled individual portable anti-tank rockets with cheap light missiles.

The weapon system has the characteristics of small volume, light weight, compact structure and easy to be carried by individual soldiers, especially the "soft launch" capability with low smoke, low noise and low recoil. It can be launched in a limited space (3.654.572. 13 cubic meter), making it an ideal weapon for urban warfare.
