With the help of this heavy anti-tank guided missile, Ukrainian Defense Forces fighters destroyed a Russian infantry fighting vehicle in the Zaporozhye direction. Journalist Yuri Butusov reported this on February 7 on Telegram.
Video of the spectacular destruction of a Russian infantry fighting vehicle using an American TOW-2B heavy anti-tank guided missile in the Zaporozhye direction, the caption to the video says.
The footage published in slow motion shows how American ammunition hits an enemy piece of equipment. After a powerful hit, the Russian armored vehicle lights up like a match.
As you know, the TOW-2B is an anti-tank system that includes a wire-guided missile used to destroy armored vehicles and other targets at long range. The TOW ATGM consists of a machine tool, a launcher and guidance and control elements. Its firing range ranges from 3 thousand to 4 thousand 500 m.
During flight, the rocket opens its wings to help maintain stability and control its trajectory. When hit, a detonator is initiated, activating the cumulative warhead of an armor-piercing missile.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces probably received these weapons in 2023. On July 19, the United States allocated a package of military assistance to Ukraine and, in particular, TOW anti-tank missile systems were located there.
Let us remind you that in the Kherson region, Special Operations Forces fighters incinerated a Russian infantry fighting vehicle that was trying to hit the Ukrainian crews of unmanned aerial systems. Destroyed an enemy infantry fighting vehicle at night using attack drones.
