Comments by "Vikki McDonough" (@vikkimcdonough6153) on "Anti-Tank Guided Missile - How Does it Actually Work?" video.
7:02 - Granted, manually-guided missiles like the Sagger are themselves quite effective in the hands of a skilled operator (as Israel learned to their sorrow in the early part of the Yom Kippur War, when Sagger-armed Egyptian infantry wiped out a large chunk of Israel's total tank force), but this requires a lot of training to produce missile operators who can effectively steer the missile to the target and avoid losing their nerve (and letting the missile go wild) under enemy fire.

5:45 - Of course, unguided rockets are also vastly cheaper than guided, so you can afford to simply shoot lots of them at the enemy tanks to make sure that some of them hit (and keep in mind that many of the misses will still end up hitting things like the other tanks in the formation, as well as creating havok in the escorting infantry [although admittedly less than rockets with dedicated anti-infantry high-explosive warheads do]).
