AFV Club has announced a brand new Wiesel.
By 2019, there were approximately 175 Wiesel-1s still active in the Deutsche Bundeswehr. Among them, 102 Wiesel-1 TOWs. By 2022, the TOW firing system (Optically Tracked Wire Guided) was to be retired. The license-built Spike-LR system, designed by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, will replace them. The firing range has increased from 3.75km to 5.5km compared to the old system. This new system was named “Mehrrollenfahiges Leichtes Lenkflugkorper-System” by the German. Around 60 Wiesel TOWs were upgraded and designated Wiesel MELL.
