Traveller TL6 is a lot more broad than our particular historical
equivalent of TL6.  In particular, "antitank" weapons are much more
likely to be designed for use against air-capable armoured vehicles,
even if they can't manufacture antigrav or thruster units locally.

There are still technology constraints on both propulsion and guidance
systems, and a portable unit probably won't cripple something the size
of even a small starship, but it's less likely to be a case of
adapting a weapon designed for ground targets to anti-air use.
