M-220 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire command-link guided) Missile System

The TOW was either operated on a Humvee or in a dismounted ground mode. The gunner keeps the sight on the target and corrects the missile through the two thin wires attached to the missile.
It also features a thermal sight for operations at night and reduced visibility.
