Jeff's post indicates newer ones are laser-guided ... perhaps the old ones were wire-guided?

If it is indeed laser or thermal guided with a range from 100M to 5000M and able to penetrate the Abrams...then it's a very nasty weapon and a real threat.

Even though it is the best MBT around, the orginal design of the Abrams body and armor is aging and enemies have had a long time to work the problem.

From the reports, at most they only have a few of them...let's hope that is the case and we can prevent them from getting more.

I defer to Jeff's expertise on this.
