      isn't that for soft or lightly armored targets? Not against tanks

        There will be different warheads available. One of them is against tanks.

          Are you sure about that? Yes there will be different warheads but the entire system weighs like 7 kg, both NLAW and panzerfaust 3 weight at least 12 kg.

          Seems like a massive challenge to make something tank destroying with those weight constraints.

            Currently it's only been ordered with warheads against non-armored or lightly-armored vehicles, but there are other warheads available against airial targets and main battle tanks.

            The german state doesnt develop weapons

            It kinda does, via the BAAINbw in cooperation with the arms manufacturers.

          There are two reason for that.
          The first one is israel-specific and well known.
          The second is that shittalking works better on some states than others. Germany is buckbroken and desperate to accomodate everyone. Israel doesn't give a frick. Same reason btw. why china gets away with literally genociding muslims.

                ATGMs aren't so high-tech that it couldn't be produced if it was worth it
                that said I would prefer if we bought Akeron/MMP from France instead of Spike from Israel

          Don't forget how big of a cuck the current chancellor is and how much he tends to drag his feet on deliveries, especially early on when he was being cuck buddies with Macron hoping that the Russians would win and everything would pass over into the "multipolar world."
          >Scholz joined the SPD in 1975 as a student, where he got involved with the Jusos, the youth organization of the SPD. From 1982 to 1988, he was Deputy Federal Juso Chairman, and from 1987 to 1989 also Vice President of the International Union of Socialist Youth. He supported the Freudenberger Kreis, the Marxist wing of the Juso university groups, promoting "overcoming the capitalist economy" in articles.[9] In it, Scholz criticized the "aggressive-imperialist NATO", the Federal Republic as the "European stronghold of big business" and the social-liberal coalition, which puts the "bare maintenance of power above any form of substantive dispute".[10]

      it's fascinating that we've come to the stage where a shoulder-fired missile is actually guided and has 2km of range, what a vast difference to the M72 LAW or RPG-7. But what's the penetration like for those things? aren't they rated for soft targets only?

      also, what's the Spike-SR penetration like?

        >aren't they rated for soft targets only?
        "Lightly armored" is what they claim, and there are both anti-armor and dual-purpose warheads. I'm going to guess that it works against most APCs and such, not against tanks, certainly not frontally. The main intention was to defeat infantry in buildings and similar cover, not modern armored vehicles.

    IMO every larger country should have a programme for permanent continuous development of small missiles. There's such a variety of options, and it's so hard to tell which will be best in the future, especially once enemies start to counter them. Being flexible and having the means to quickly adjust will be very useful. There should also be production lines set up for them (preferably several distributed ones, all of which can produce any small missile if need be.)
