rocco said:just bullets, RPG's and explosives up to 10kg... not much to ask for...
sure the vehicles wont be as fast or manueverable... but if this would have been done 1 year ago, i bet there would be 800 less deaths.

DTop said:Missileer, even the TOW 2A's (circa late 1980's) were designed to defeat reactive armor.
The TOW 2A missile was developed by Raytheon Missile Systems for the U.S. Army to defeat advances in the armor threat created by the advent of first and second generation Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA).
TOW 2A incorporates a tandem warhead armament system to achieve increased lethality against tanks configured with Explosive Reactive Armor.
The precursor warhead in the missile probe is designed to set off the explosive in a tank's ERA, clearing the way for the primary warhead to penetrate/defeat the tank.
These days there is the TOW2B. The 2B Aero (longer range), and the 2B RF wireless (a bunker buster) are coming soon if they are not already in the inventory. No sign of a TOW3 yet though.
