Folks, I have been checking out the anti-tank articles and cleaning them up with the info I have from the 1980 and 1990s. This is a great article, with everything as it should be and more. To the editors. THANK YOU! --Jackehammond (talk) 05:59, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Among other bits I removed this text just now: "Current TTPs (Tactics Technique and Procedures) for use of this weapon in theater is to remove the drogue chute so that the device can be thrown directly at the side or rear of a vehicle.". Hmm, there was no reference source, and it seems very unlikely. How exactly would you do this? Why? There are a ton of insurgent videos online, most of which show the chute clearly.

The article says "It entered service in 1950, but was still used by Iraqi insurgents in the mid-2000s, against vehicles of the US forces."

There is no date for when it left service or was retired; The latter part of the sentence would lead one to assume it is no longer in service with any military but is still being used by insurgent forces. Fdsman (talk) 01:42, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
