The Malyutka is a wire-guided anti-tank missile system originally developed in the Soviet Union. It was the first man-portable anti-tank guided missile of the Soviet Union and is probably the most widely produced anti-tank missile of all time. Although it has been supplanted by more advanced anti-tank guided missiles, the Malyutka and its variants have seen widespread use in nearly every regional conflict since the 1960s. The Serbian Malyutka POVR 2T5 is an evolution of the original Malyutka anti-tank missile.

The missile features a maximum range of 5,000 meters and can engage moving targets at a distance of up to 4,500 meters. It has a minimum shooting distance of 750 meters. The warhead is a tandem shape charge, over-caliber type, capable of penetrating 850 mm behind Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA).

The missile has a flight speed of 200 meters per second and can reach its maximum range in less than 30 seconds. It has a length of 1,700 mm, a caliber of 125 mm, a warhead caliber of 142 mm, and a wing span of 393 mm. The missile weighs up to 26 kg.

For guidance, the missile uses a semi-automatic system that operates through a radio channel. It can engage targets moving laterally at speeds of up to 10 meters per second. The hit probability is estimated to be at least 80% for stationary targets and 60% for moving targets.

The missile is also compatible with the semi-automatic guidance system of Malyutka missiles, offering additional flexibility in operational scenarios. It is designed to function in a wide range of temperatures, from -30°C to +50°C.
