Yes, I was surprised at how close they looked to the house, when I first saw that pic, for that reason.

Urban warfare isn't quite the "Soviet tank armies coming through the Fulda Gap" that TOW was designed for.

I apologize in advance for this:

Osama and an aide were walking across the desert when they spotted a tree with bacon all over it. All kinds of bacon, Canadian, smoked, thick sliced...

Osama sent his Aide forward to the bacon tree. As the aide approached, the tree exploded, blowing the aide back 30 feet.

Osama ran to the aide, and asked what happened. The aide responded "It wasn't a bacon tree, it was (this is the part I am really ashamed over (but not really))


A HAM BUSH"

the new urban assault missile has a multiple-purpose blast warhead, enabling it to defeat a variety of targets such as buildings and bunkers, as well as light-armored vehicles.

That's all well & good, just as long as it can make a hanging red mist of a gaggle-f**k of armed ragheaded terrorist bastards hunkering down in a mosque.

Have a nice day, fanatics. :)

Basically, it's an upgrade and replacement for the Marines' beloved M72 LAW. No minimum range, heck of a punch, useful for tanks, buildings, clusters of annoying people, but this time it's a self-guided missile as opposed to an unguided rocket.
