While in AAP (TOW platoon) in Bosnia in the late-90s, our platoon received a briefing from GEO TECHs about GEO TECH capabilities. The GEO TECHs related a story about an incident during a previous deployment (I do not recall which roto) concerning a tank firing in a village. The GEO TECHs said their trade was able to provide AAP with grid locations from which a TUA could engage the tank - but was out of the tank's range (the story ended with a near-miss and the tank fleeing).
Can anyone, with first hand knowledge, confirm the incident and the use of the TOW missile?
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of incidents where Support Weapons have been used by a CF unit (something other than personal weapons or sniper rifles)?
Note: I'm wondering more about the weapons/systems used rather than the incidents themselves.
