Demonstration of Malkara anti-tank guided missile, Lulworth
Jun. 06, 1960 - Successful test of Malkara Anti-Tank guided missile: The Malkara anti-tank guided missile was fired for the first time at the Royal Armoured Corps Centre at Lulworth yesterday. The first missile, which is about 5 feet long and weighs 200 lbs, hit a tank hulk at a range of 1, 300 yards and the second a moving canvas target at 1, 800 yards. The missile has small flares on its wings to enable its controller to follow its flight and pass the necessary signals along a communicating wire to steer it into the target.
