Notes The Malkara was an Australian designed anti tank missile developed in the 1950's. It was state of the art at that time. The Australian government did not buy any. This was rather disappointing because if they did it would create many benefits for the economy and show that Australia is capable of developing anti tank weapons. There will always be a market for these types of weapon.
One problem that nagged the Malkara was that the smoke from the motor made the target hard to see at times.
