The MGM-310 Rapid Anti-Tank Weapon (Zhenian: MGM-310 고속대전차무기) is a Zhenian anti-tank missile developed with the primary purpose of defeating enemy tanks and heavily-armored targets. Developed in parallel to the MGM-320 missile, it was designed to primarily use kinetic energy to penetrate heavy armor, as opposed to high-explosive anti-tank warheads found on other, conventional anti-tank missiles. With a maximum speed of around Mach 4.7 and a maximum range of around 8 kilometers, it was built around a primarily defensive service doctrine in events of large-scale attacks of enemy armored units.
