The Mathogo (Acronym for Misil Anti-Tanque Hilo Guiado - ) is an Argentine first-generation wire-guided anti-tank missile.
== Background == The anti-tank missiles (ATGW, anti-tank guided weapons) evolved in the late 1950s from the portable anti-tank rockets (ATR) like the bazooka, which required the operator to be close to the target, to overcome the limitations of these.
