The Canadians also had a portable system called Javelin back in the day, but it was a SAM. The U.S. Javelin is anti-armor, and was a product of TI (maybe Copper worked on it?) and Lockheed. It's a well proven system and can defeat reactive armor.
It's shoot and scoot, or a two-man team can reload and get another one off in 15 seconds.
As with most things the Chinese have a copy, but I don't have a clue whether it's as good or not.

Yup, we were on the west side of N. Central Expressway, TI was on the east side.
Actually, TI was everywhere. They ruled to calculator world. They needed a lot of people.

I agree @George-K
But, i guess for USD $175000 per missle, it had better be good. LOL
