For AT missiles, we already have the Spike.

Also we can upgrade our Saggers. I don`t know if we already have some of this or it`s only a concept.

But we should need some improved rockets for the AG-7.

The Spikes in question are attached to the SOCAT and the MLI platforms, they're not man-portable.

Yes indeed. The Spike MR/LR used on Jderul are also man-portable, so we could buy launchers and more missiles.

BTW, a Jderul lying in ambush with only it`s remote controlled turret exposed would be mortal for a T-72. Hard to observe, even a direct hit from the tank will only disable the turret, and range of Spike is 4000 m against 125 mm cannon range of max. 2000 m, dictated by accuracy. Also the Spike is designed to defeat ERA...

It will be nice to make here such missiles, as well as better warheads for RPG's. And yes, those can compensate the lack of a big mass of modern tanks, especialy in urban areas and in fragmentated and forested terrains, and combined with land mines or even IED's can become a really problem even for large and well equiped enemy armoured forces, in case that our tanks alone can't face the problem.
Helicopters are good too, but you need some air control or supremacy to use them and can depend sometimes even on weather as well.
