Heller (antitank rocket)

The Heller was a Canadian antitank rocket launcher produced and fielded in the 1950s. The Heller was in production from 1954 and remained in service until 1967. The Heller fired a 3.2-inch high explosive antitank projectile that was capable of penetrating 11 inches of rolled homogenous armor when struck at a 90-degree angle of impact. The Heller was replaced in Canadian service by the 84-mm MAW.
