-The MILAN ATGM was created as a result of the "Euromissile" Franco-West German joint missile developement program in the 1960s. The missile system quickly became the standard anti-tank weapon of many NATO forces, and found widespread use in most of the armies of the Alliance.

 The MILAN system, which consists of two main components, the launcher and the missile, employs a semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) command guidance system, which keeps the missile in the center of the operators crosshairs, by using GPS technology and, depending on the model, the missile is tracked using either a tail-mounted infrared lamp or an electronic-flash lamp. The missile is not affected by radio jamming or flares because it is wire-guided. However, drawbacks include short range, issues with overland powerlines, and a vulnerability to infrared jammers, which can prevent the missile's IR tail light from being tracked correctly.
