The Swingfire ATGM was introduced into service with the British Army in 1969. It is a wire-guided missile system that can be launched from ground platforms or vehicles. The missile is propelled towards its target via a two-stage solid-fuel rocket at a speed of 415-mph (668-km/h) out to a range of 4,375-yards (4,000-m). The 15.4-lb (7-kg) HEAT warhead is capable of penetrating up to 31.5-inches (800-mm) of armor.

The Swingfire was first mounted on the FV438 in the early 1970s. The FV438 is based on the ubiquitous FV432 armored personnel carrier. These vehicles were originally assigned to anti-tank units in the British infantry and Royal Armored Corps. In the mid-1980s they were transferred to the Royal Artillery. FV438 was used by the British in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm/Sabre. The Swingfire itself has been used by 9 other countries including Belgium, Egypt, Iraq and Kenya. It was retired from British service in 2005.
