===Late Cold War: second generation ATGMs===
Second-generation semi-automatically command guided to line-of-sight, or [[semi-automatic command to line of sight]] (SACLOS) missiles require an operator to only keep the sights on the target until impact. Automatic guidance commands are sent to the missile through [[Wire-guided missile|wires]] or [[radio]], or the missile relies on [[Beam riding|laser marking]] or a TV camera view from the nose of the missile. Examples are the Russian [[9M133 Kornet]], Israeli [[LAHAT]], the [[Spike (missile)#Spike NLOS|NLOS version of Spike]], and the American [[AGM-114 Hellfire|Hellfire I]] missiles. The operator must remain stationary during the missile's flight. The most widely used ATGM of all time, the American [[BGM-71 TOW]], with hundreds of thousands of missiles built, is a second-generation system.<ref name="Berman" />

Second generation ATGMs are significantly easier to use than first generation systems, and accuracy rates may exceed 90%. Generally they have an effective range of between 2,500 and 5,500 meters and penetration of up to 900&nbsp;mm of armor.<ref name="Berman" /> Cost is around $10,000 USD per missile.<ref name="Berman" />
