		Tanks were first used in combat at the Battle of the Somme on September 15 1916.
		Paradoxically, a tank is usually in its safest state when the commander is in a personally unsafe position, riding in the open, head out of the turret, with no personal protection save his helmet and a flak jacket.
		Since an immobilized tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery, and the specialized tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is seized upon to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and on railways instead of under their own power.

	Tank Hunting
		Known as tank hunting, this is a task for the ordinary infantryman, as distinct from the expert and highly specialised techniques of anti-tank warefare.
		The tank's armament is virtually useless against a moving, close-range target, for the simple reason that it can't lower its gun sufficiently to engage a nearby target.
		Tank hunting is carried out by a fighting patrol which can vary in size from a section to several companies.

	Army Technology - Javelin - Anti-Armour Missile
		The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker which is based on a cadmium mercury telluride (CdHgTe) 64 x 64 staring focal plane array in the 8 to 12 micron waveband.
		The missile is mounted on the Command Launch Unit and the gunner engages the target using the sight on the CLU, by placing a curser box over the image of the target.
		Once the missile is clear, the larger propellant in the second stage is ignited and the missile is propelled towards the target.

		The final trials of the missile were successfully conducted in guided mode with live warhead in March this year, paving the way for defence scientists to signal that the missile was ready for use by the Army.
		The helicopter version of the missile, which gives the weapon a much wider range of operation in the battlefield, was first tested in March 1998 and subsequent tests have also been successful, officials said.
		Scientists said the missile which has been likened by experts to US army Javelin and Israeli spike anti-tank missiles is one of the only missiles in world to have four distinctive capabilities rolled in one.

	Army Technology - Kornet E - Anti-Armour Missile
		It was reported in April 2005 that the Kornet E missile system has been ordered by the government of Eritrea.
		The launcher fires Kornet missiles with tandem shaped charge HEAT warheads to defeat tanks fitted with ERA or with high explosive/incendiary (thermobaric effect) warheads, for use against bunkers, fortifications and fire emplacements.
		The self-propelled Kornet missile system has the capability for automatic loading and the simultaneous launching of two missiles at a single target.

		These are old and inaccurate missiles, but taken together, the Syrians will very soon have a real capability of hitting all parts of the State of Israel with nearly 50 missiles at a time.
		In the tanks sent to Ukraine (and which have already been returned), the old gun barrel was replaced with a new -- smooth -- one, to enable firing both shells and AT-10 anti-tank guided missiles, which have a range of about 4 kms.
		These missiles, which in Israel are stationed only on missile boats, pose a considerable danger to the Israeli navy's freedom of action.

	PakDef Forums - US Surprised By Iraqi Use of "Kornet" Anti-Tank Missiles
		As a direct-fire weapon, the missile travels in a straight line, rather than in an arc, as it would with mortar or howitzer artillery.
		It is credited with disabling a number of heavy American Abrahm-1 tanks and one Bradley armored troop carrier of the US 3d Division fighting in the central region around Nasiriya.
		If I was an Iraqi general, I would have distributed as many anti-tank missiles as possible, especially for the cities and towns held by Iraqi forces and given their (in my opinion correct) basic strategy of defending the big cities and towns, especially behind the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

	Attack Helicopters
		The AH-64 Apache was designed primarily as a tank killer for a potential ground war in Europe against massive numbers of Soviet and Warsaw Pact tanks charging into Germany.
		It could hover behind trees and other obstacles before popping up to fire missiles at a target that could be "illuminated" by a laser fired by another aircraft or even troops on the ground.
		The Apache soon proved to be very successful in attacking Iraqi tanks and armored personnel carriers, even though it was fighting in desert terrain for which it had not originally been intended.

	Protection Systems for Modern Armoured Vehicles
		However, the proliferation of new generations of Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) and the wide use of hand held anti-tank rifle grenades (such as RPG) pose a serious threat to even the heaviest protected vehicles, as attacks are carried out at close range and from all directions.
		Protection all around by passive armor is becoming too heavy for even the heaviest tanks, and even these cannot stop all threats in all directions.
		Therefore, a modern armor is a suite of protection means, comprising of relatively thin shell of ballistic steel and composite armor, (also known as hybrid armor) which can be designed to provide optimal protection from specific threats.
