States<\/strong> and <strong>entered service in 1984 <\/strong>as a potent <strong>anti-tank weapon. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It can <strong>also be used as an air-to-air weapon against helicopters<\/strong> or slow-moving fixed-wing aircraft.<\/li>\n<li>The missile is <strong>compatible <\/strong>with a wide<strong> array of platforms<\/strong>, including <strong>attack helicopters (AH-64 Apache), drones (MQ-1 Predator<\/strong>, MQ-9 Reaper), <strong>fighter jets<\/strong>, and ground launchers.<\/li>\n<li>It is currently<strong> used by the United States military as well as 30 US allies.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The Hellfire missile is capable of<strong> defeating any known tank <\/strong>in the world today.<\/li>\n<li>The Hellfire family of missiles consists of<strong> 4 generations: the basic (AGM-114A<\/strong>, AGM-114B, AGM-114C) and the <strong>Anti-Ship-Missile (AShM) interim (AGM-114F),<\/strong> the Hellfire-2 (AGM-114K, AGM-114M, AGM-114N, AGM-114R), and the <strong>Longbow (AGM-114L). <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Features<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>AGM-114 missiles measure between 1.63-1.75 m in length, 0.178 m in diameter, and weigh 45-48.5

clipped delta stabilising-fins in a cruciform configuration.<\/li>\n<li>They have a<strong> range of 7-11 km <\/strong>while carrying a payload of 8-11 kg.<\/li>\n<li>The missile flies at
