Army orders ALCOTAN Shoulder Fired Anti Tank Weapon System

It will need another firing tube with weapon with reusable firing unit. C-90 is good but 350m range is to low, there should be better range weapon for PA at least 600m range weapon to allow infantry some safety.

Still this weapon looks good.
It's range is 600 with area target , infantry, it is 700

Looks like the Pakistan Army has developed healthy respect for Carl Gustav type systems lately.
Carl gustav is a recoiless rifle.

ALCOTAN M2 is a missile, comes with a high tech targetting system;

ALCOTAN-100 (M2)
100 mm calibre weapon system for infantry, fireable from confined spaces, composed of:

  • A reusable firing control unit, named VOSEL (M2), with integrated night vision, which calculates the target position and trajectory, measures the propellant temperature, calculates the projectile trajectory and shows the gunner the future aiming point to maximize the hit probability.
  • A range of different ammunition (anti-tank, dual-purpose, anti-bunker and multi-purpose), integrated in a disposable launching tube.
Capabilities
  • 600 m effective range and >1.000 m against area targets

  • VOSEL (M2) firing control unit automatically shows the future aiming point correction against moving targets

  • Extremely high Single Shot Hit Probability (SSHP)

  • No recoil <4 J

  • Confined Space firing capability

  • Night vision integrated in VOSEL (M2) firing control unit

Carl Gustav does not have a ballistic computer like this does, it's just a recoiless rifle like spg9 but way more portable, this is a replacement for weapon systems like the LAW, Rpg and panzerfaust. A good addition for LOC units especially.

At LoC with 600m range and 1000m area range having good NV capability, it's awesome weapon for Infantry / LCB units.
