Which missile system is used by the M41A7?

• A. Saber system
• B. Tube launched, optically tracked, wire to command link guided missile (TOW)
• C. Heavy cannon
• D. Laser-guided bomb

Answer: (B)

The M41A7 is equipped to fire a guided anti-armor missile that is launched from a tube, guided by an optical sight, and uses a wire connection back to the launcher for control signals. This combination—tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided—is the defining characteristic of the TOW system, which is why it’s the correct choice. The other options don’t fit: Saber is a different system, and a heavy cannon or a laser-guided bomb is not a tube-launched, wire-guided vehicle-mounted missile.
