Thoughts on the MBT-70 and the Shillelagh missile

The_Warhawk: So both the 9K112 (AT-8) and the 9K119 (AT-11) are made up of two
smaller components (Missile and Ejection Booster), similar to the
conventional shells (Projectile and Propellant charge).
Visually the missiles look like they're roughly in-line with
the size of the other pieces of ammunition fired from the 2A46.
We've also got a book with some blue prints of the auto-loading
system in the T-80. It details the loading of an HE round, but from
what I can gather from the illustration and description, the actual
9K119 and 9K112 are roughly in line bulk wise to the other shells.
There's a slight exception in regards to the ejection booster on
the 9K119 which looks like it's smaller than the ejection booster
on the 9K112 and the propellant charges on the conventional rounds.
EDIT: I feel obligated to point out, there is a lot of
assumption on my part. I couldn't find exact dimensions.
