The Rheinmetall-Borsig Panzerblitz was a anti-tank missile
designed and developed by
Rheinmetall-Borsig AG.
The Rheinmetall-Borsig Panzerblitz was basically a modified
Panzerschreck, in which the Luftwaffe joined four Panzerschrecks
together to make an integral unit which was then mounted as
auxiliary armament beneath the wings of the aircraft as a
single launcher unit fitted to each wing, but because of the
high amount of drag they caused, it was later replaced by
R4M Orkan
