Quoted:
Syrian insurgents are deploying extensive supplies of anti-tank missiles provided by their foreign backers to counter ground attacks by the Syrian army and its allies, backed by heavy Russian air strikes, rebel commanders said on Tuesday. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/13/us-mideast-crisis-syria-idUSKCN0S71F820151013 I wouldn't mind seeing a few Russian tanks blown away. EDIT: 7:22 he sounds like a Mexican soccer announcer - allahu akbar......... allahu akbar.......... ALLAHU AKBAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Let's give them more shit. They need some MLRS and a few CIWS.
Then we can be amazed when we see an ISIS Toyota driving around with a pissed off R2D2 in the back. |

is it an optical illusion or those missiles very slow? Relatively slow, and you give guidance to the missile in real-time via wires connected to the missile...well, at least the TOWs in the 80s were that way. Big balls to be an infantryman in the semi-open in order to guide them, enough of a bloom to be spotted by an alert AFV crew and can easily find yourself under fire before the missile gets there. IIRC, any ways; was ADA so didn't know much about them. |

Man, I never got to shoot the ground mount.
At 2:30 it looks like the missile flew in between 2 guys.

One of my father's best friends was on the original TOW design team. I'm sure he'd enjoy watching them destroy Russian armor, but I'm also pretty sure he'd roll over in his grave seeing them in the hands of these goat loving scumbags.
Always need watching them juke and jive as they go down range tho. |

is it an optical illusion or those missiles very slow? They have to haul ass and haul ass immediately out of the tube. Just think about the physics. These missiles have to generate enough lift and control authority on those tiny little wings for controlled flight in the time it takes a rock to fall from the height of the launcher to the ground. If not, the missile would bouncing off the ground on the way to the target. |

How many times and how many posts need to be made on facebook / youtube until people finally realize they're not American TOW missiles but Iranian Toophan / Toofan TOW copies?
Syria was a major operator of the toophan so it makes sense rebels got control of them. |

Now when the wire breaks then you have some randomness.  That's what was wrong with the tow1's we sold to Iran in our Iran Contra affair, Tow's with rotten wire guidance and IIRC cracking and dangerous rocket motors.

The reason there are so many videos is due to the CIA requiring each shot be filmed and the spent tube exchanged. This is an anti-proliferation measure. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
