'''Nag''' ([[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]]: नाग meaning ''cobra'') is India's third generation "[[Fire-and-forget]]" [[Anti-tank guided missile|anti-tank missile]]. It is an all weather, [[top attack]] missile with a range of 30.5 to 74 km.
 
The missile uses an 8 kg [[high-explosive anti-tank]] (HEAT) [[tandem warhead]] capable of defeating modern armour including [[Explosive reactive armour#Explosive reactive armour|Explosive Reactive Armour]] (ERA) and [[composite armour]]. Nag uses [[infrared homing|Imaging Infra-Red (IIR)]] guidance with day and night capability. Mode of launch for the IIR seeker is LOBL (lock-on before launch). Nag can be mounted on an infantry vehicle; a helicopter launched version will also be available with integration work being carried out with the [[HAL Dhruv]].
