Pakistan to get US TOW 2A guided missiles

[Keysersoze]

The earlier version of TOW was wired (the ones bought in 2004). They would require re-tooling now to be able to be used with the RF and non-RF ones.

My own take is that the number of TOW launchers mentioned (121) would include the TOW launchers on the AH-1Fs as well as those mounted on wheeled and tracked (M901) vehicles. Pretty much the entire PA inventory of TOW is getting upgraded.

The only thing that would offset the above guess is if the number of Cobras has gone beyond the initial 18-20 (there are many indications that PA has taken delivery of additional Cobras).

Well according to the list I have here (Fighting forces by Richard Bennet circa 2003) Pak Has 200 launchers (24 on the M901) Now it would be interesting to find out if the upgrades are only for the Cobra and a few vehicles or for all the units.
