The BUMBAR is a modern Serbian anti-tank missile. It is based on the French/Canadian ERYX missile.[1]
Description
Bumbar (English: Bumble Bee) is an anti-armor (tank) weapon from Serbia. It was developed based on the French/Canadian ERYX missile. Like the ERYX, the Bumbar is a wire guided, man-portable, short-ranged missile system for use against ground targets. It is protected against electronic countermeasures through: "...use of SSD matrix sensors, fast image processing computer and robust missile tracer recognition algorithm."[2]
