- Wire-guided AT missile. That's right, a long wire comes out the back of it. Countermeasures involve ducking, then pulling the wire until someone shouts "Oi" and applying suitable force of arms. Can be either man-packed (no thanks - or should that be 'no tanks?' [groan]) or vehicle mounted - which is infinitely more sensible an option. And that's about the lot.
- Very chic place in Italy.
