The article discusses the impact of U.S.-made BGM-71 TOW missiles supplied to Syrian rebels, which have been used to destroy Russian-made tanks in Syria. This has given the conflict the semblance of a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, despite President Obama's desire to avoid such a situation. The missiles have been instrumental in driving rebel gains in northwestern Syria, and their success has led to further supplies being promised. The article also touches on the broader implications of the missile program and the geopolitical dynamics at play.
