Loitering munition against tanks
The Hero-120SF loitering munition system was developed as a modern medium-range anti-tank weapon, specifically against heavy targets – tanks as well as other armoured vehicles. Multi-purpose warheads in various versions allow the Hero-120SF to be deployed more flexibly from different platforms. Its higher precision is also intended to keep collateral damage to a minimum.
