Ruhrstahl X-7 "Rotkäppchen" (German: Rotkäppchen, lit.'Little Red Riding Hood') also known as Kramer X-7 or Ruhrstahl-Kramer RK 347 was a German wire-guided anti-tank guided missile (now referred to as MCLOS) developed during World War II by Ruhrstahl AG in 1943, after the Waffenamt (Army Ordnance Board) placed an urgent order for anti-tank missiles, this project was under the leadership of Dipl.-Ing. Max Otto Kramer. It was essentially a smaller version of the X-4, but was powered by solid-propellant rocket.
