The TOW missile has an infrared sensor, through which the system detects the missile’s deviation and corrects it, when IRCM is running, the operation of the receiver is disrupted
Both TOW and KONKURS/early ATAKA use cable for radio comand, but use IR lamp in the back to see where to steer. Only late TOWs got secondary targetting means.
To elaborate, TOW and similar missiles like Konkurs are guided using a flare on the back of the missile. A sensor on the launcher sees the flare and sends commands through the wire to steer the missile towards the crosshair. The jammer works by imitating the flare, causing the sensor to think the missile is somewhere different than where it actually is and send commands that are wrong.
In a beam riding system, the sensor is on the missile looking backwards towards the launcher (in order to find the center of a beam emitted from the launcher in the direction the gunner aims). It can't see the jammer at all.
SACLOS like TOW and Milan rely on missile exhaust to know where the missile is relative to gunner sight. By having 2 or more heat signatures, it confuses the gunner guidance system and causes the missile to fly randomly.
@@Moist-Doggy SACLOS guidance system relies on IR signature (either from the exhaust of the missile, beacon, or flares) to find the missile and guide it. So, if it suddenly detects two IR signatures, the guidance system didn't know which one is the missile and isn't able to guide it (that's why it began to fly randomly). TOW 2 fixes this issue with additional xenon beacon if there's an enemy IR jamming.
You should put BGM name in descriptions so the BA guy won't have to name it
All variants of the TOW missile should be immune. They're controlled via the cable you can clearly see...
Yeah, I always wonder why Wire SACLOS missiles are still affected by IRCM, I thought only Beam-Riding Missiles are affected
you could be right but uh im not a expert in missiles
they still have a flare in the back for guidance so the wide beam of infrared jamming means guidance doesnt know where the missile is at all times

Still don’t understand how TOW missiles, a WIRE GUIDED missile gets jammed by INFRARED countermeasures
The tow works by tracking the flare. Irccm jams the flare

Refleks and Kornet are so fast. I didn't even know where my missile had gone the first time I used the BMP-3
You forgot the system on the ZTZ-96A (P)
When did the marder get rockets?
Pls test Israeli trophy system against all atgms
Thumbnail: show ERIEL and call it MUSS
Isn’t the BMP-2Ms ATGM beam riding? Why isn’t it affected?
maybe the missile is too fast to be affected?

T90's Shtora 1 is the most iconic ircm
12,7 М2 vs 14.5 КПВТ
I think it will be interesting
“I have met my greatest enemy”= The hardest tank to pen on the Test Drive Map
I still don't understand why you tried it with SS.11
1 like in 30 seconds bro fell off
I thought the i-tow immune to aps since it use rope as the control sistem not laser
laser guided munitions are not affected, only infrared

I think a wired missile should be immune to ircm only laser should be effected
There’s a comment like yours that got explained if you care to read
Laser/Beam Riding should be the one who is immune to IRCM tho 😂
@@noraneko8926 wire guided atgms are completely unaffected by irccm irl
@@Optimusprime56241 MCLOS is, but SACLOS doesn't.
