Questionable range quotes

There are all sorts of ranges claimed for the various versions of the missile. These need documentation. As an example, the -8E is claimed to have a range of six kilometers in the article, while Jane's Armour and Artillery 2007-2008, p. 309, only credits it with a 4-km range. As well, sinodefence.com mentions the 4-km range for the -8E and -8L models and a 3-km range for -8A and -8C models. Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 17:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wilson I don't buy it. The main advantage the Israeli had when they developed a laser beam riding version of the TOW was a massive increase in range. With wire guided missiles, you are pushing your luck beyond 4,000 meters. Main reason is the wire that spools out. The longer the range the more wire you need and the harder it is to pack to where it will un-spool right. That has always been the reason the Germans and French to replace the HOT. They can't get it beyond 4,300 meters. Jack--Jackehammond (talk) 21:36, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
