I'm working with a Libyan text and trying to ascertain which weapon this is. In the story, the narrator is being trained to use different weapons, and I can't figure out what this one is.
context:
التصويب بسلاح الميم طاء
Is this some sort of weapon that is attached to the wing of an airplane? Or is it a missile launcher?
