Flame

Notes: This Indian ATGM launcher is a hybrid weapon, using the AT-5 Spandrel launcher to fire Milan-2 missiles. Two versions of this launcher are available: The Flame-G ground mount version, which may only fire Milan-2 series missiles, and the Flame-V vehicle-mounted launcher, which is used on the Indian version of the BMP-2 and may fire Milan-2, and AT-5 missiles. The Flame launcher in both cases is improved with the addition of an integral thermal imager for night use.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Close to 200,000 of the ground/light vehicle mount alone for these launchers were deployed during the Twilight War, which is many times the intelligence estimates said the Indians had.

Nag

Notes: Nag (Serpent) is an Indian ATGM introduced just before the Twilight War. Development began as early as 1990, but delays plagued the program, and very few have actually been deployed. Nag is a third-generation, top attack, fire and forget missile using IR guidance. A millimetric wave guidance version that is not vulnerable to IR countermeasures such as flares was planned, but the guidance package gave the experts many problems and was never fielded. However, decoying the Nag with flares is one level more difficult. This missile is also used from helicopters and on a modified BMP-2 chassis.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Delays plagued the program, and the weapon was not introduced to combat units until 1998. The ground-mount for the Nag was extremely rare and more likely to be used mounted on a light vehicle.

Merc 2000 Notes: The MMW version became available in 2005.
