Section 6.2 of the 1999 UN Secretary-General’s Bulletin states: “The use of certain conventional weapons, such as … incendiary weapons is prohibited.”
Antitank guns are legal, incendiary weapons such as the above are not. Napalm was made illegal against infantry through this but also antitank industry weapons.
That's not an incendiary weapon. Incendiary weapons are like napalm, thermite, willy p. This is just a regular high explosive round. Probably something with a shaped charge like a HEAT (high explosive anti tank) warhead.
