these were put into production in the 1990s about 96 , much more powerful than the hellfire. i saw a power point of this after the fact, and it drove the turret and barrel almost out of sigh in the ground and the engine of the tank was many yards away, all alone, adn the wheels were in a field almost out of sight..i had not heard of this missle till a guy from work sent me this vidio and a power point presentation.. its a fire and forget system..not wire guided, or lazer,,
