Ingwe
Notes: A South African ATGM, the Ingwe (Leopard) is normally fired from the launcher on the Ratel ZT-3 tank destroyer or by helicopters. It is a laser-guided with medium anti-armor performance, not too useful against heavily armored vehicles, but adequate against the armor fielded by its neighbors. There are two versions, the standard ZT-3 with a HEAT warhead, and the ZT-3B with a HEAT-Tandem warhead to defeat reactive armor. The Ingwe is basically an unlicensed copy of a prototype laser-guided TOW missile, and it is a mystery where the South Africans got the plans for that prototype TOW.
