Wire Guided Tank Killer | Swingfire | Anti-Tank Chats

In this video, Chris Copson looks at the Swingfire, a Cold War period anti-tank guided weapons system. This powerful and hard-hitting missile was mounted on vehicles including Striker, Ferret and FV 432. With a range of up to 4km, it had the significant advantage that it would outrange tank guns and could be fired remotely by the controller, enabling the launch vehicle to remain in cover. *Support The Tank Museum & Get great perks:* ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tankmuseum ► YouTube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChl-XKVVBAzoEVsnbOfpcqw/join 00:00 | Intro 00:25 | History of Missiles 04:22 | Swingfire 10:01 | FV102 Striker 11:36 | See Inside FV438 16:46 | Mk V Ferret Scout Car 18:00 | Conclusion #tankmuseum #swingfire #ChrisCopson #antitankmissile
