are as follows:

Can be manpacked to obtain an advantageous

firing position not accessible while mounted,

but only for short distances due to the heavy

weight of the system.

Engagement of the maximum effective range

does not significantly decrease its accuracy.

Has a fire down munition that can penetrate a

vehicle’s armor at its thinnest point (on the top).

Contains a thermal sight that provides enhanced

capability at night and during limited visibility.

Does not lose power in direct proportion to the

engagement range.

The TOW’s limitations are as follows:

Employed in squads with two launchers at a

minimum so that the crews can provide mutual

support.

Vulnerable to both direct and indirect fire; therefore,

cover and concealment are extremely important.

Large amount of backblast are produced,

which must be taken into consideration when

planning firing positions. Clearing the backblast

area of loose debris or watering the area

down can help reduce the signature.

Reduced range when firing over water obstacles.

Cannot fire on the move and the gunner must

keep his sights on the target throughout the

time of flight (14 to16 seconds to reach maximum

range).
