The missile can be deployed at targets at ranges min 20m n max
600m. The missile can also be launched immediately without tracking

Seeing the pics of the new British LAW, I was thinking if it is
possible if ST can design a tandem version of the MATADOR. Since we
are alreasy learning from the Ukraine in terms of guided rocket
technology, and that we did get inolved in the SPIKE projects, I
believe we can make a short range missile some wad like the
British.
U see, the northern chappies seem to have a sudden rush and
fascination for MBT. They already got 48 PT-91 and one of their
generals expressed desires of getting a tank division. Even if they
are buying at a slow pace, their dream might materialise. Thus it
is better for Singapore to start a credible program to arm the
battalions with better anti-tank capabilities.
We can also harness smart technologies like thos 120mm,155mm rounds
from mortar or artillery that can attack the MBT top down.
