The ASM-23 Tayra is an anti-tank guided missile produced in Inyursta. A further development of the GPM-K Pacarána, the Tayra is optimized for air launch and boasts a range of almost twice that of its forefather, depending on altitude. Named for the Tayra, a large and powerful carnivorous mammal; sticking to the theme of the earlier Pacarana while implying a powerful "size up" and sticking to a simple, easy-to-remember moniker.

Need for Heliborne ATGM
A 2013 military inquiry into the [Inyurstan Navy] & [Inyurstan Marine Corps] found that guided rockets were not always sufficient to destroy armored vehicle targets. Existing ASM-7 STRIKE missiles (used to attack enemy small boat swarms) were comparatively large for a helicopter to carry, and in practice only 4-6 could reliably be sortied with.
