History:
The M966 TOW Missile Carrier is a specialised variant of the iconic Humvee, developed to provide mobile anti-tank capability for the US Army. Equipped with the BGM-71 TOW system, it allowed light units to effectively engage armoured threats at long range. First introduced in the 1980s, the M966 served during conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm and later operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its combination of mobility, firepower, and adaptability made it a key component of US and allied anti-armour strategies throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
