The Bumbar (Bumble Bee) is a Yugoslav anti-tank missile, based on the Eryx missile, that features a highly manoeuvarble direct thrust vector control system located at the missile's center of gravity. With separate ejection and sustainer rocket motors, the first enables soft launching and the second ensures high thrust and flight velocity with short flight time up to maximum range. The CCD localizer and guidance computer within the firing post provide an exellent antijaming protection, using the microcamle to guide the missile. The major parts of weapon are made of non-metalic materials, plastics or light-metal alloys so the weapon is lightweight.
