depends on which version of spike you have, and what it is named at the time too.

Wiki I know but : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_%28missile%29

Note the ER ('Dandy' in Israeli service?) version is 8Km range, and is used by the Finnish coastal rangers. (18 launchers, for anti-ship use mentioned in the wiki article)

Though they apparently have the MR version - the one we have for regular infantry use should probably best be renamed to MR and range reduced accordingly (the few A/Sh ones can safely be ignored?).
