Mathogo

The Mathogo (Acronym for Misil Anti-Tanque Hilo Guiado - English: Wire Guided Anti-Tank Missile) is an Argentine first-generation wire-guided anti-tank missile.

[2] The Mathogo was developed by CITEFA (Instituto de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas de las FFAA - the Armed Forces Scientific and Technical Research Institute) in the 1970s to supplement and eventually replace the Argentine 105-mm recoilless rifles.

In design it is similar to the Swedish BANTAM by Bofors - which is reported to have been bought in limited numbers for the Argentine Marine Corps - only slightly larger and with a pointed nose section with the first versions.

Development was completed in the late 1970s and various reports have stated that it is no longer in production.

[3] The Mathogo's warhead is capable of penetrating 400mm of rolled homogeneous armor.
