The TAipers anti-tank guided missile (Tank Snipers), also known as the Cheongeom, is a South Korean long range anti-tank guided missile built by Hanwha Defense. The missile has two modes. The fire-and-forget mode will autonomously guide the missile using a dual-mode seeker that combines visible and infrared imagery. The fire-and-update mode will allow the operator to guide the missile from the launch vehicle though fiber-optic datalink. It is planned to enter mass production in December 2024.
Development
The TAipers was developed to replace air-launched TOW missiles in the inventory of the ROK Armed Forces but could be exported. It was presented to potential customers at the Black Sea Defense & Aerospace 2024. The cost of development is KRW724.8 billion (USD550.5 million).
