Which system is a Tube-Launched, Optically targeted, Wire-guided anti-armor weapon with a maximum range of 3,750 meters?

• A. TOW system
• B. M777
• C. M142
• D. M224

Answer: (A)

The description points to a tube-launched, wire-guided anti-armor missile that uses an optical sight to guide the round to the target, with a maximum range around 3,750 meters. That combination of launch from a tube, guidance via a wire while the operator tracks the target optically, and the 3.75 km range is characteristic of the TOW system. The other items listed are not anti-armor missiles with this launch-and-guide method—one is an artillery piece, another is a different launcher system not defined by tube launch and wire guidance, and the last is a mortar—so they don’t fit the given traits.
