==Capabilities== The MATADOR is among the lightest in its class. The warhead is effective against both vehicle armour and brick walls. The weapon has little back-blast, making it safe for operation in confined spaces.<ref name="MINDEF1"/> The MATADOR is supposed to be capable of defeating the armour of most known [[armoured personnel carrier]]s and [[light tank]]s in the world. The dual-capability warhead, when acting in the delay mode, creates an opening greater than {{convert|450|mm|abbr=on}} in diameter in a double brick wall, and acts as an anti-personnel weapon against those behind the wall, offering an unconventional means of entry when [[FIBUA|fighting in built-up areas]].<ref name="MINDEF1"/> The MATADOR's projectile is claimed to be insensitive to wind due to its propulsion system, which results in a highly accurate weapon system.<ref name="MINDEF1"/>
