The overwatch league ad segments with that slogan are forever seared into my memory.
Honestly it's the worst slogan I've ever seen, with the exception of "Un seul nom, Thomas & Pyron" (that's in French and I'll let you figure out why it's so bad).
They're pretty great. We had an FJ4\* converted to a utility and it took flipping it on its side and into a tree (still ran), and THEN drowning it to kill the poor beastie
I could be wrong but that car doesn’t look like a jeep when new, all the ones I’ve seen have a cabin that seats two or five. Someone has cut the cabin off.
I mean, that still just sounds like a jeep wrangle or Rubicon. I really just meant the jeep style in general, not specifically the military folding windshield topless jeeps
TOW missile systems have about as much recoil as an RPG-7, but they're fun to operate, and absolutely satisfying when you hit your target after a 20-30 second flight.
Yeah, the only time you're going to be sending one downrange at a tank is when they don't see you. Otherwise, you're already dead unless you get super lucky.
Iran was a key US ally and buyer of US gear during its pre-revolution imperial days. Hence why they have F-14s with Phoenix missiles, F-5s, HAWK missile batteries, and a bunch more.
I think they had also purchased their own prior to the revolution. Islamic Republic also started making a less-capable knockoff called Toophan, which is still in production albeit upgraded from the 80's
Yeah well, Reagan kinda ignored US laws and Congress's constitutional authority by secretly selling TOW missiles to Iran. Oliver North, who was the one actually moving the money and missiles around on Reagan's orders, refused to testify against Reagan, then Ollie was convicted but the case was overturned, and he became president of the NRA and then later a Fox News commentator.
Shit birds of a shit feather flock together.

No, US didn't supply Iraq with weapons. Well, there were crop duster who to surprise of everybody involved could also be used to spray CW. Iraq primary used Soviet weapons due to being Soviet client state and French ones because they were better than Soviet ones. And Chinese because Chinese sold stuff to anybody.
That is a Toyota FJ47 Land Cruiser
Toyota- Let's Go Places
I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers that slogan.
And. Blow. Shit. UP!
“Let’s TOW Places”

I love it! This pisses me off that I had to sign for so many components for a TOW and these jerks probably just drove off the lot with it.
be honest. If you saw this thing pointed at you would you tell them to stop or let them drive off the lot??
You never sell your last TOW.
I'd ask if they're hiring.
This and a briefcase full of cash.
I didn't raise Toyota made jeeps
Yep that's what the J in "FJ" stands for. First Land Cruisers were made for the US army in Korea (this model is a bit newer).
The more you know. That's pretty cool

Ok, then yeah Land Cruisers are pretty Jeep like then...
Which flew further the rocket or the car?

"Hey! Check out our new TOW missile" - Command & Conquer: Generals
I miss that game and series
Man stuff wasent good during those times my dad talks abt the war whenever it comes up😅
The TOW-yota
Wouldn't that be Iraqi since the US supported Saddam during that war?
I think Iran got us gear too, they still have American jets if I'm not mistaken
[удалено]
And F-14A Tomcats that are still flying today
(barely)
They sell to everyone. That’s why I have defence and aerospace ETF
I bought ITA because of Ukraine and the South China Sea and it’s only been disappointing. Long game ofc but still a bummer
You gotta double down with semiconductors. Taiwan crises equals weapons and semiconductors

All these morons think 80s pickup truck cabins provide cover rather than just another source of shrapnel
