The Panzerhund (English: Tank Hound), abbreviated PzH, is a Wingardian anti-tank and anti-personnel missile system fitted with a tandem-charge high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead.
As of 2025, the Panzerhund is in its fourth generation, and has branched out into three separate but related missiles: the unguided disposable base variant, the top-attack guided infantry weapon (G for Gelenkte, or Guided) and the extended range vehicle-mounted one (F for Fahrzeug, or Vehicle).
