El HOT (siglas de Haut subsonique Optiquement Téléguidé, ) es un sistema de misil anti-tanque desarrollado por Euromissile (ahora MBDA), un consorcio Francia y Alemania, y producido desde 1978.

[editar] Características

HOT uses the same principles for its operation as its American counterpart, the TOW missile: tube-launched, optically tracked, and guided through a trailing wire. The missile system is also commonly mounted on vehicles, and a version exists that can be launched from combat helicopters.
