You re Toast: These Old Rocket Launchers Still Pack a Nasty Punch
The Carl Gustav and the AT4 may be old, but they remain some of the most popular anti-tank systems in the world.
Here s What You Need to Know: Both launchers have received updates for the modern era.
The Carl Gustav and the AT4 are some of the most popular anti-tank systems in the world. While the “dumb” rockets both launchers fire may seem outdated in a world full of anti-tank guided missiles, often times the additional weight and complexity a guided missile brings is unnecessary for a task.
This has been proven by the effective use of the Soviet RPG-7 series of launchers by various adversaries through the years.

Key point: Beijing has been training to invade Taiwan now for some time. It has also ramped up its miltiary modernization and its threatening rhetoric.
Months back, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) announced that it had conducted a test of a new anti-tank missile system as part of a so-called “Taiwan Drill.” The exercise, which was conducted in an island-landing exercise from the Bohai Bay earlier this year, was only disclosed on Tuesday and was possibly meant to serve as a message as much to Taiwan as to the United States.
