    Cool picture, but what’s new about it? Article with picture and additional confirmation its just a TOW. Looks like a BGM-71D or BGM-71E missile. On a glance, nothing cutting edge unless I’m missing something.

      You’re right, IDK if the missles themselves are new. They’re part of a new strategy devised to fight China if need be. The Littoral combat team trained with these for a month in January. https://wapo.st/3xiuqH6

      I dont really know anything about weapons like this

        TOW missiles are actually pretty old. There’s some scuttlebutt about new guidance systems for them though. But that’s competing with moving over to Javelin missiles.

      Could be something as simple as new way to make it so it cost way cheaper than before.

    This is entirely inappropriate but I must say: FOR DEMOCRACY
