Swingfire was a British wire-guided anti-tank missile developed in the 1960s and produced from 1966 until 1993.〔 ==Development== Swingfire was developed by Fairey Engineering Ltd and the British Aircraft Corporation. It replaced the Vickers Vigilant missile in British service. Its design incorporated elements from its predecessor the Vigilant and the experimental Orange William missile. The name comes from the ability of the missile to make a rapid turn of up to ninety degrees after firing to bring it onto the line of the sighting mechanism. This means that the launcher vehicle could be concealed and the operator, using a portable sight, placed at a distance in a more advantageous firing position. Besides its use on the FV438 Swingfire and the Striker armoured vehicles, Swingfire was developed to be launched from other platforms: * FV712, Mk 5 Ferret with 4 missiles in use with the British Army * ''Beeswing'' - on a Land Rover * ''Hawkswing'' - on a Lynx helicopter 〔 * ''Golfswing'' - on a small trolley or Argocat vehicle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swingfire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
