| This is a picture of our truck. It's real color was woodland patterned camouflage, so we mixed transmission fluid with this power like sand to re-camouflage it. This truck is a T.O.W. gun. TOW stands for Tubed Launched, Opticly Tracked, Wire Guided Missile. Our main role in Desert Storm was to take out tanks and other enemy vehicles. At that time, our missiles had a range of 3,750 meters. That was further than the range of the Iraqi's best tank; the T-72 which had a range of 2,000 meters. However, we had to be still for the duration of the missile's flight. To learn more about the TOW try this link: http://www.militaryhp.com/weapons/air_defense/tow.htm |
