Anti-Material weapons

Model Image Origin Type Quantity Details
ATGM
MATADOR MATADOR Stand.jpg Catam Pon Recoilless rifle 5000+ The MATADOR is among the lightest in its class. The warhead is effective against both vehicle armor and brick walls. The weapon has little back-blast, making it safe for operation in confined spaces. The MATADOR is supposed to be capable of defeating the armor of most known armored personnel carriers and light tanks in the world. The dual-capability warhead, when acting in the delay mode, creates an opening greater than 450 mm (18 in) in diameter in a double brick wall, and acts as an anti-personnel weapon against those behind the wall, offering an unconventional means of entry when fighting in built-up areas. The MATADOR's projectile is claimed to be insensitive to wind due to its propulsion system, which results in a highly accurate weapon system.
