BGM-71 TOW Missile + Syrian T-62 Tank = Massive Cook Off
Published 3 years ago
A video from the Obama-era "Arm and Equip" program in which Syrian rebels were given BGM-71 TOW missiles and the training to use them shows an Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighter destroying a Syrian Army T-62 main battle tank.
The anti tank guided missile (ATGM) strike results in a massive cook off as the fuel and ammunition succumb to the fire caused by the munition's blast.
This era of ATGM strikes significantly reduced the Syrian Army's fleet of tanks, but in recent days it has been reported that Russia has now delivered an unspecified number of upgraded T-62M tanks and BRM-1K armored reconnaissance vehicles to the Syrian regime.
