Soldiers Use TOW Missile To Take Out Mock Russian BMP - M41A7 TOW Improved Target Acquisition System

- U.S. Army Soldiers from the Illinois Army National Guard firing TOW missiles at mock targets at Range 19 on Fort McCoy, WI. The 33D IBCT TOW crews conducted training on the M41A7 ITAS system to include system descriptions, target engagement, far-target location (FTL) capabilities, Crew Commands, PMCS, and Missile capabilities.
ITAS’s second-generation forward-looking infrared sensors double the long-range surveillance of its predecessor, the M220 TOW system. ITAS offers improved hit probability with aided target tracking, improved missile flight software algorithms and an elevation brake to minimize launch transients. The system includes an integrated far-target location (FTL) capability (day-and-night sight with laser rangefinder), a position attitude determination subsystem, a fire-control subsystem, a Li-ion battery power source and a modified traversing unit. Soldiers can also detect and engage long-range targets with TOW Missiles or, using the ITAS FTL enhancement, direct other fires to destroy them. The FTL enhancement consists of a position attitude determination subsystem that provides the gunner with his own GPS location and a 10-digit grid location to his target through the use of differential GPS. With the PAQ-4/PEQ-2 Laser Pointer, ITAS can designate .50 Caliber or MK-19 grenade engagements. The ITAS can fire all versions of the TOW Family of Missiles.
The ITAS Image Enhancement Modification Kit reduces operator workload by optimizing the image presented to the gunner through electronic processing. Electronic focus, image stabilization, and other processing techniques ensure that the image presented is optimized for the environment without manual manipulation of the various adjustment settings. ITAS operates from the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, the dismount tripod platform and Stryker anti-tank guided missile vehicles.

Very good!
A weapon designed in the Cold War to destroy Soviet tanks will now be used by a former Soviet state against Russian Tanks. We live in interesting times.
The TOW is a beast nice video
So those wires help control the rocket during mid flight to stay on target or to follow a moving target right? And how far do those wires go?
Yes you are right about the wires and they can go up to 4,500 m
@@geoffhoweth damn, thats quite some wire
without a line?
maretupi it’s really thin
Need to work on those fire commands
the iPad of death
the army really should round up all of the hideous ucp gear and strictly field multicam although I will admit it does seem to blend in to snow fairly well, but a better option would be to just adopt the other three variants of multicam just to have a little more uniformity
UCP actually worked pretty well in the mountains of Afghanistan. A lot of the terrain is nothing but loose, small grey rock. I say we keep a few of them around but ultimately phase them out. Snow multicam would be just way too white for the mountains.
Wow so fastest so good missile target yeah missile need faster and target
Shooter at 3:15 failed to check back blast area before shooting. Unsafe operator.
lol
I mentioned that to the wife too.
Ah the good ole tow, wasn't the military working to make a version that wasn't wire guided?
The videogames and war are no so diferents each other nowadays. The vision that have the soldier is very close to a videogame view more than to the eye view.
Squad!
Tank, T-72 direct front, 1,200 meters
At my command!
Fire!
наші справжні брати !!!
Incredible video and this Tow too..with great accuracy of it...
That's some expensive training, unless there shooting older variants near the end of their service life. I know in my squadron, the cavs scouts in their Bradley's never shot tows on the range as a standard. They only shot 25mm and 7.62mm.
Newest have now infrared projectors that create huge ball of light, you will not be able to see anything on your monitor
BWP is killable with 25/30mm cannon for few dolalrs / shot
11H
"BackBlast area clear, Arming lever up" !
lol 1 tow missile is more expensive than 1 old soviet bmp
Yeah we can beating Russian tos 1
Tow good weapon it has good uses in Syria
Wisconsin!!!
Shieeeet
Is this what we are going to use against some Russian tanks or for lighter armor. ?
Crackofline Ok thanks, Thay are putting these on HUMVEES next to where I live....
PEREMOHA
American pride baby 🔴⚪🔵😎
Christopher Gonzales yeeeeeha
Thanks God the enemy is not moving an inch.
Moving or not it doesnt matter, the missile follows wherever the crosshairs go... its wire guided. Either the gunner can guide the missile or you can set track gates so then the saber will track the heat signature and guide the missile on
Готовы к ответу из Корнет?
TOW's are pretty old tech, but freakin solid as hell... aint broke....
This is the tow 2a
This is the new one
The latest variant
@@arrogleinadtra referring to FBW
@@zigwil153 ok
now Russians know. thanks
Oh my, they've seen it fire. They must have gotten all the specs from this one video by now. Oh the horror!
Indeed, this is a very terrible video for Russians!
Whatcha got against Russians?
I wasnt aware we were at war with them.
And we had the TOW since at least 1990.
What is that a rope attached to the missile and goes all the way with it while attached to the gun?
Mayheamk it's wire guided
Mayheamk it's a wire guided missile
how far does that wire go, pretty crazy, what happens when it runs out..
Mayheamk there's enough wire for its range
Max range is 4100m and theres 4300m of wire
Allahu akbar compilation videos appreciates your work
Take your money and give it to us
один заряд тополя и нет вашей америке
А ты попробуй запусти! Ответка быстро прилетит! Пока россияне живут в бедности и тешат свое самолюбие возможностью всех уничтожить, запад живет своей жизнью, производит инновации в электронике, технике, автомобилях, а в России кладут асфальт на снег и пилят бабло на космодроме "Распильный" и стадионе "Распил-арена". К тому же российские ракеты столкнутся с препятствием в виде ЗРК Patriot и THAAD. Не факт что у России вообще есть боеспособное ядерное оружие, может это вообще бутафория лишь для запугивания.
В принципе ты прав, ущербные бедные страны всегда гавкают на успешные и богатые. Ситуация у России и США такая же, как между Россией и Украиной. Бедная маленькая собачонка гавкает на большую Россию. Но сразу же обосрётся при серьёзном конфликте. Но у России есть хотя бы потенциальная возможность нанести противнику неприемлемый ущерб. А Украина просто будет стёрта с лица Земли.
With all my respect for the US military, but this weapon is not lethal and destructive despite the fact that it is developed but the Russian RPG is stronger than
Ziad Bentouila what?an rpg is a very small rocket perpled grenade.
MR TRIP But despite its smallness, it is strong
Ziad Bentouila you are trying to classify 2 totally different things.
RPG max effective range is 400m and at that range it's 75% chance to miss but can be carried by a foot soldier and used
Tow is guided no guessing it's slow but the range and accuracy is unmatched it has to be mounted to work
If you want to compare the RPG to anything the AT-4 is a better comparison than a TOW
AT4 is still better than the RPG it's light it's accurate and after it's used you just dump the whole thing so your not carrying a 10 pound steel tube all day.
lmao a russian rpg stronger thats funny
You are an idiot. Tow missiles have a 5.5 inch diameter warhead than can penetrate well over 2ft of cold rolled homogeneous steel. RPGs have little baby shape charges that dont even come close. Also tow missiles can hit out to 4100m while being guided the whole way. RPGs dont even come close
