Bunker Busting and Anti-armour
Article Abstract:
Special operations personnel utilize a wide range of small anti-armour and bunker-busting arms due to the different missions they are tasked to perform. Weapons employed by special operations forces range from shoulder-fired bunker-busting recoilles guns and medium-caliber high-accuracy anti-material rifles and grenade launchers to personal defense weapons and sub-machine guns. Shoulder-fired arms, such as the Milan 3 missile and the Eryx device, are lightweight and are effective in other functions.

Article Abstract:
Many countries are already developing better aircraft, tanks and bunkers that have improved protection. The market has responded with the development of warheads with improved technological features. Blast warheads have been recognized for their application as close-combat grenades, depth charges and fuel-air explosives. These warheads also generate self-forging fragments that are not affected by standoff distance.
