Light Anti-tank Weapons
Light anti-tank weapons are portable, shoulder-fired weapons designed to destroy or disable armored vehicles. They typically use a shaped charge warhead, which creates a focused jet of hot gas when detonated and can penetrate the armor of a tank or other armored vehicle. Light anti-tank weapons are typically small and lightweight, making them easy to carry and operate by infantry soldiers.
Light anti-tank weapons are designed to take out the tracks to disable a tank or hit it in the rear to try and disable the engine (unless you have a Merkava, where the engine is in the front and extremely well protected). It probably won’t destroy the main battle tank (MBT), but it can knock it out of the fight for a while.
