usa_bgm-71aLand AttackUSA
The BGM-71 TOW is an American wire-guided anti-tank missile. The weapon is used both from helicopters and from armoured vehicles. It has a relatively short range and a small warhead, which limits its ability against modern armor as it may require multiple shots to kill a single tank.
