    You’re right, IDK if the missles themselves are new. They’re part of a new strategy devised to fight China if need be. The Littoral combat team trained with these for a month in January. https://wapo.st/3xiuqH6

    I dont really know anything about weapons like this

      TOW missiles are actually pretty old. There’s some scuttlebutt about new guidance systems for them though. But that’s competing with moving over to Javelin missiles.
