    Btw, are there no rockets that just explode a piece of tungsten into flight direction?

      They are called APFSDS tank shells

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_fin-stabilized_discarding_sabot

      A CV90 (not even a true main battle tank) with a 120mm gun would eat these piece of shit “tanks” for breakfast. Not as a hero vehicle that charges to the front and singlehandedly breaks through enemy assaults, but rather as part of a hunting pack working in close concert with drones to surgically dismantle and devastate enemy armored assaults without putting Ukrainian lives at unnecessary risk.

      Not shoulder launched though, unless you ARE a tank then technically…
