Heyy! Thanks for your question and its normal to have these types of thoughts.

Anti-tank capabilities are embedded within certain infantry battalions and armoured units. For example, infantry soldiers may specialise in anti-tank operations as part of a Fire Support Group or as part of a unit using mobile anti-tank platforms. This means that while their role involves engaging high-value enemy targets, it is part of a much larger, well-supported operation, not something they do alone or without proper backup.

In terms of danger, it’s important to be honest—yes, like any front-line combat role, there is a level of risk. But the British Army takes soldier safety incredibly seriously. Our anti-tank teams are equipped with state-of-the-art systems that allow them to engage from long distances—often well beyond the range at which they themselves could be targeted. They are also supported by intelligence, drones, armoured vehicles, and other protective measures that help minimise their exposure to direct threats.

All soldiers, including those in specialist roles like this, undergo rigorous training to ensure they can perform their tasks confidently and safely. This includes not just weapons training, but also teamwork, communication, and situational awareness—all of which greatly reduce risk and enhance effectiveness.

I hope this helps you!
