Going after a tank can be a bigger feat than people think. Thanks to nowadays popular Anti Tank guided Missiles the military troops are able to do this much easier and improve the combat on the ground. With all the options available we should now rank which ones are in the top ten. There might not be an easy answer, but we've still created a ranking of which ones are most effective at taking out a tank.

The art of war has since evolved especially in the past two decades. In the 21st century the Air Force of any country has become the backbone of its defense strategy. The Air Force is now an integral element in ensuring a country's security from invasion of other sovereign states. The general agreement is that with evidence of clear air dominance no other country will dare strike a particular territory. The past twenty years has seen numerous advancements in flight technology and in aeronautical engineering. These days, fighter jets are not just faster and more capable of advanced maneuvers. They are also better equipped and have more capability for waging war. Now, electronic warfare is the norm and communications are radar have improved by leaps and bounds. These fighter planes are also designed with better visual range and increased missile range. In addition there is greater availability of a wider range of weapons that can be carried by supersonic jet planes. At this moment, the evolution of fighter jets is still ongoing. Scientists are currently hard at work to create jets that are not only stealthy and difficult to detect but they aspire to build better ones that are virtually impossible. Here, we have made for you a compilation of the top ten fighter jets that are being used by armies all over the world. The list is based on the following criteria: evaluation of the jets performance in warfare and their advanced features.

The US created the FGM-148 Javelin as a way to replace the Dragon antitank weapon. It's a weapon that can be carried by a man and then fired at a tank. The way it works is that you can lock on your target before firing and the missile will self guide its way to the target. The missile specifically is used against the top armor of armored vehicle since it is normally much thiner than the other armor. It can also be used to shoot at buildings and go after enemy helicopters. It can go up to a height of five hundred feet when being used in top attack mode and sixty meters when in direct fire mode.

Major Harold Hering asked what he thought was a clever question. However, the irony is that the higher brass did not think so and dismissed him. Major Hering inquired on the missile launch order's two-man rule. (This involves two independent operators verifying and agreeing on the validity of an order to launch). Major Hering was part of the Air Rescue Service during the Vietnam War. He was serving as Minuteman missile crewman, a 21 year career man in the Air Force when he asked the fateful question. He was expecting to be promoted to Lt. Colonel at that time. It was late in the year 1973 during a training activity at Vandenberg Air Force Base when he inquired about how can one know when an order is received to launch missiles the president who gave the order is still sane. Major Hering's question revealed a critical flaw in the two-man rule. Until now the fail safe protocols on nuclear missile launch hinge on the identity of the President and not his sanity.

America has begun an offensive missile launch in Somalia. The strike has been confirmed by two American officials. There wasn't a firm confirmation of where the strike targetted, but it is most likely a leader in al Qaeda. Somali officials have reported that a top military commander was killed inside his car when a missile hit it. American intelligence is still investigating how effective the strike actually was. There has been no confirmation on where drones were used in the strike or if it was carried out in another way.
