Antitank defense was based on the TOW (tube-launched, optically- sighted, wire-guided) antitank missile and the man-portable Dragon system, both from the United States, together with more recent acquisition of the Apilas rocket launcher from France.
The LAW-80 antitank missile was acquired from Britain in 1987 to replace the Dragon.
