Arabic term or phrase: سلاح الميم طاء
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?
