Malaysia has ordered an unknown quantity of Russian AT-7 Saxhorn guided anti-tank missiles. These are assumed to be the improved Metis-2 version which has an option to carry a dual warhead (to penetrate tanks with reactive armor) or a fuel-air explosive (thermobaric) weapon. The Saxhorn (Metis-2) is a light system; one soldier can carry the launcher and a missile with a second soldier carrying spare missiles.--Stephen V Cole
