- U.S. Soldiers train with the TOW missile system in order to validate operational readiness utilizing anti-armor weapons systems.
The BGM-71 TOW is an American anti-tank missile. TOW replaced much smaller missiles like the SS.10 and ENTAC, offering roughly twice the effective range, a more powerful warhead, and a greatly improved semi-automatic guidance system that could also be equipped with infrared cameras for night time use.
First produced in 1970, the TOW is one of the most widely used anti-tank guided missiles. It can be found in a wide variety of manually carried and vehicle mounted forms, as well as widespread use on helicopters. Originally designed by Hughes Aircraft in the 1960s, the weapon is currently produced by Raytheon.

Wow💥 swedis help like pass war.. Winterwar and continuation war summer 1941-44 so thanks a lot swedut.. Jätitte pulaan ja huutelette meidän seläntakaa!!!??.. 90%fin people think so.. So shitpants sweden 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 ⚔️⚔️⚔️🎖️💀👌🏻...
reted
0:51 Crazy how fast and agile that missile is. I didn't know it was actually attached to the launcher via a wire until I was a bit older, never would have guessed.
Range control has a special reel to bring that wire back in, pain in the 4th point of contact.
I used to make that wire. Takes almost 5 days to get it from high carbon rod to final product. It's a 10th the thickness of a human hair but you can't break it with your fingers - as a lot of cuts on my hands could testify. About 6 miles of it fits on a spool about the size of a can of peanuts.
@@ly776 That’s insane
@@ly776 Im guessing there is another wire inside of wire at 1:21 because that seems quite thick?
Thank you for these footages. My chess opponent will have no idea what’s about to hit him
i have reserved a B83 nuclear devise for my chess opponent.

I was a TOW gunner from 97'-01'. The sights definitely look like they've had an upgrade! nice!!
I'd never wanna be driving around in a tank these days they make too much shit to kill em.
The TOW looks so cool flying out of the launch tube with its twin exhaust
TNT expands at around 2,000 fps, C-4 22, 000 fps, TOW warhead (Monroe effect/shaped charge) more than 50,000 fps. Enough to punch through nearly one full meter of rolled homogeneous armor (900mm).
I use to be a 11 H back in the 90’s and the new system look as cumbersome as the one I used.
Wow...loved it
missile back wire is so long,amazing.
I was a gunner on a 106 recoiless rifle that was replaced by the tow 2/504th 82nd 71-74
I was a M67 90mm Reoilless & M47 Dragon Gunner in the late 80's. I would loved to have had that Javelin!!!
The Javelin just doesn’t have the range of the TOW.
Extremely accurate, deadly and fairly easy to learn to be effective in maintaining an deployment. But draw back is it wire optics control to the target. Meaning operators have to stay engaged and guiding the TOW to its targets. Puts moments exposing the origin of cover and potential counter attack is possible.
1:50 check this guy
POG
Keep it up bros💪
Tow and javelin, awesome
Launch and forget
0:50 awesome...!!!
This gave “on the way” a whole new meaning
Got to look through the sighting system one time those things are nice!!!💯💥
Yeah, optics and FC systems are something I was ALWAYS curious about, really wanna see a BGM sight system
I wonder what happens to the wires? do they get picked up? or are the ranges littered with wires everywhere?
Amazing piece of kit
The wires are pretty thin, like 28 gauge. Copper wire will corrode over time in the elements. But dead tanks would leave much more of a mess!
The wires are strong enough to cause severe bodily harm if they are left hanging across any access road or trails. In Camp Grayling civilians have access to certain roads throughout the area.
The new Tows no longer have wire guidance
I use to make the gyro rotors for this missle.
Really, if so that's is one hell of a job my friend
that is so cool
i hope those soldier have hearing protection lol
@mdowning77 The gyro is a device that includes a spinning disc that is used in keeping the missle stable in flight.. The gyro motor is used to spin the disc up to high speeds before the missle is launched..
I calibrated the nutators for the bazooka- electronic brain.
THANK YOU USA GRETINGS FROM KOSOVA
Thanks for uranium?? Uhmmmmm ok
why you thank to usa where is the usa there is the anarchy.
My favourite weapon in Squad game.

OMG 😲😲😲😲😲 AMEZING INSTRUMENTS oh... awesome stunning. ..
Ich schlafe und sehe diesen Kanonier in meinem Visier
Absolutely zero recoil that's insane!!!
The blast goes out the back of the launch tube. But the whip antenna sure gets the blast.
It's a missile, not a gun.

Fire
On the way
..
Just fire it
Tow missiles need a bit of time for being fired, i cant remember why
@@curdledstraw227 gyro has to spin up and thermal battery has to heat up
As a 19 Kilo, I'm waiting to hear the command "UUUPPP!" :(
No mention about what TOW stands for. Targeting On Wire is what it is. The missile is steered through flight by a pair of wires that go back to the launcher tube, which is connected to the targeting screen. That way it can't be jammed by radio waves.
Tubular Launched, Optically sighted, Wire guided. TOW. Can follow a moving Target and hit as long as the wires touch nothing in between.
Mark Daniel , thank you sir, but you left out missile in the end! Top gun out of 150 men shooting this weapon at Ft.Hood, Tx, back in 1990!
Peter Henden Nope ... TOW = Tube lunched Optically tracked Wire command linked guided middle system
@@USMC--me3ig so you kept your manual all these years haha. was a tow 97-01. good times
this is the only time ive seen this thing shot without a snackbar festival after the rocket hit!
My father said they used to drink beer through the barrel of their first shot. It was a pressure fill-up he said ^^
Expensive day at the range.

I need this weapon laser mesarure distance for groups attack. Do you know something?
What are these thin lines after the rocket?
Mr. Afgahn to guide the rocket, its wired, they had that since dessert storm destroying Iraqi tanks
aohK euqsarraT I think it's even longer.
TOW has been around since Vietnam.
@aohK 100 meters is just about a football field, 109 yards roughly.
aohK euqsarraT - They are thin and have an effective range of 4.5 km or about 2.4 miles.
What is the pre-launch noise?
What’s the pop just before the launch?
Looks like they are in Estonia?
nice shoot
WOOW Nice👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Nice shott 😁
Ground mount pedestal on M151 and to the M901 way back in the early 80s
its crazy its a military vid I got as first ad a military game
Just got done with AIT as a 94A, I repair these bad boys

So what's happening with the first little pop before the missile actually fires?
Wow
Y’all are missing the kevlar blankets.... tisk tisk
Good

Seems like they'd be easy to shoot down going so slowly. Probably not much developed for intercept of slower ground misses though I'd guess?
good
Das habe ich geschossen 1970 mit der 810 und der SS 11 Lenkdrähte 3 km Distanz. Jaguar 1.
-50 + 50 work?
What is the thing about the sights.I know the tows in Syria don't have that part
So how is this missle differ from the one used by the terrorist?
This missles travels straight while those are used by terrorist travels in circular pattern towards target?
This is an anti-tank missile. The TOW 2B (when I served) had a range of 3000 meters. You have to keep the cross hairs on the Target to hit it. The missile is guided by the two thin copper wires that are attached to the missile system.
This anti-tank system is old technology but is still useful.
I'm not familiar with what weapon you are referring to used by the terrorists.
9:00 TOW-2B Aero with radio link?
Dud at 2:15. Broken leads resulting in premature detonation.
Mikishots subbed because of HAL
Please someone to explain to me what those two lines are that come out of the cannon after each shot
They're the wires that control the missile.
So after the missiles leaves the tube, it's being guided until detonation? But it's a hard wired connection?
The Gunner has to keep the cross hairs on the Target. The system has a missile guidense set which relays info from the sight to the missile by the thin copper wires. At Max range of 3600 meters it takes roughly 14 seconds to reach it's target.
What happens whit the wires after the missile hits?
Why it has wire? Arent laser of radio guidance better?
Eleven Hotel FTW!
This isn't a fire & forget? Or do you have to keep the sights trained on the target to guide the missle? How does this perform with moving targets?
yes you can make mid flight corrections and its very accurate on moving targets. No its not fire and forget. It can be reused thousands of times. Only the missile casing are removed and thrown away. But, I'm sure even the missile casing can be reused as well.
why that 2 threads are throwed from the canon?
Manuel Alfonso the missiles are wired guided
How about moving target?
what happens to the wire once the missile gets the target?
Great job using
missle systems U.S. soldiers
💖🇺🇸🗽🦅😁🚀
Mantaapp juga klu indonesia banyak senjata ini
heavy, non-maneuvering during combat.
Why very thin strings attached to the shell after firing?
Note the word "Guided" in the caption. The wires are for remote control.
Good job 👍👏👍 Shuot out idol tnx 😎 from pilipinas
What's the pop before the missile is launched?
Johannes
It’s a pre launch motor for the internal gyroscope
@@sixty2jeff thanks, was going to ask the same question. These were after my time.
mcpaplus
Humvee came after my time... we had TOW on 1/4 ton Mutt (Jeep)
All exposed no up armored stuff just blessed enough to get through 4yrs 82nd in one piece. Good times. 81-84
Tows on Humvees? I thought they use em on MRAPS? Or are these only for practicing purposes?
I wonder why the TOW needs 2 wires when every other wire guided ATGM makes due with 1?
You should say whalla akbar after the shot to make it work proprely....
iamguillaume y u say dat 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
iamguillaume first of all its allah uakbar
Allahu Akbar not whalla akbar
Da mad lad 360 are u Muslim cuz I am
Baldi nah fam I’m Canadian I speak English
silly question but what happens to all the wire from all the tow weapons fired? there must be tons of that shit laying all over
Well technically this weapon is good to destroy enemy vehicles.
Saul Sanchez , it will also shoot down aircraft also!
