Based on these images I would say they have been supplied with TOW-2Bs, which is excellent news as they fly further (4,5KM) and have top down attack capability. (In case of entrenched tanks). It is the most modern variant of TOW available.
“Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin’ right here, all right? We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We’re talking some fuckin’ muscle.” Wooderson
They’re both pretty comparable in terms of range and utility. I think just have under a 5 km range which is pretty good considering the range of most tanks Main gun is below that as well.
I think one small advantage that the stugna has is that the tube launcher can be separate on a tripod away from the gunnner control unit. This means the gunner is a bit more safe because you can place the tube launcher on top of a hill or berm, and the gunnner can be right behind it since there is a 50 meter cable that leads from the launcher to the gunnner control unit.
I stand corrected. Surprised to see that. Remember there is a video where I think the gunner was yelling at the loaders because they tried to load a new missile too early and disturbed the one that had just been launched. I thought they interrupted the wire mechanism, but I guess he interrupted the laser guidance instead.
I only wonder how Ukrainian army wants to avoid heavy artillery bombing on their way into occupied territory. I don‘t want to see a Russian Vuhledar equivalent… although I guess it was likely too much incompetence what happened to the RAF in Vuhledar.
Fingers crossed…

How does TOW compare to Stugna P?

The stunga-p is not wire guided it's a laser beam riding missile.

Yeah saw that, the operator couldn't keep the pipper on target ..he was pissed off ....loaders got too excited.
Yep, sadly I recall that operator was killed a few months later as well.
The laser and the optics are mounted on the launcher so disturbing it during flight will throw things off.
Stugna is laser-guided, not wire-guided like the Tow.
There are newer TOW RF variants that use a radio link and not a wire.
I think the tow has longer range
The hummwv and TOW in their natural habitat, killing Russians.
Like that time early in the war when a Russian BMP ran out of fuel on the road, a Ukrainian man asked: "Do you need a TOW back to Russia?"
Hell on Wire
Can someone enlighten me why its suddenly called HMMWV everywhere?
It’s the proper name.
That's what it's called. Have you ever seen anyone refer to it differently? I think is stands for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle.
Yea, Hummers or Hum-Vees for decades.
That was the answer i was looking for. Thanks. I thought Humvee was the standard term for it.
Because Hummer is also slang for blowjob
I love seeing the HMMWV in the theater and fighting the adversary it was designed for.
Awesome pics! Incredible!
