The Sagittar uses an ground-to-ground missile especially designed to be used against static and ground targets as light combat vehicles or main battle tank. New Sagittar portable anti-tank missile weapon system from Poly Defence of China.
     
The Sagittar is portable missile system using three main components, the missile launcher, the sight and a tripod.

The Sagittar missile is 4th generation "fire-and-forget" anti-tank missile developed in China which does not require further guidance after launch such as illumination of the target or wire guidance, and can hit its target without the launcher being in line-of-sight of the target.

The missile uses an uncooled IR (Infra-Red) imaging homing seeker using the IR light emission from a target to track and follow it.

It is protected against electronic countermeasures through: "Use of CCD matrix sensors, fast image processing computer and robust missile tracer recognition algorithm.

The Sagittar missile has an operational range from 200 to 2,500 m using a tandem shaped charge which is effective against reactive armour. The first stage of the weapon is typically a weak charge that either pierces the reactive armour of the target without detonating it leaving a channel through the reactive armour so that the second warhead may pass unimpeded, or simply detonating the armour plate causing the timing of the counter-explosion to fail.

The Sagittar missile can penetrate armor up to 800 millimeters thickness.
