All Anti-Tank Weapons and Mines

This group collects the Armored Vehicles subcategory's anti-tank weapons and mines: anti-tank rifles, rocket launchers and recoilless weapons, wire-guided and man-portable anti-tank guided missiles, anti-tank landmines and obstacles, and anti-tank barrier and denial systems. Its 32 members are weapons and defensive systems designed to defeat armored vehicles rather than armored vehicles themselves, catalogued in this subcategory because each entity's own weapon-class attestation names an anti-tank role; a full-size vehicle-mounted anti-tank gun that is itself a tracked or wheeled armored platform is classified instead under Tank Destroyers and Assault Guns.
