Default Re: ATGM availability

1) and 2) depends largely on which class of ATGM you are dealing with: short-range (Dragon, Eryx, AT-7), medium-range (Milan, AT-4) or long-range (TOW, AT-5). US gets 1-3 short-range ATGM per platoon starting in the 70s (Dragon), but no one wuld get TOWs at this level.
Regarding light-vehicle ones, they are generally foot ATGMS mounted in the field.
More on this later or if someone else kicks in.
