Anti-tank? In that case it could be an older American TOW from Afghanistan.
What was the range. I'm not that familiar with this incident yet.

Not sure of the range. I need to go back and read more. There’s video of ISIS and FSA using all of the anti tank missiles I listed earlier on YouTube. Pretty insane they have access to all this hardware.

These jihadi’s love to record and post their attacks and yell Allah Akbar a million times so we will likely see it at some point. The photo most of the news outlets are posting doesn’t tell us much. These portable anti tank systems can easily be deployed on a roof or inside a building and threaten coastal patrol vessels which could have serious implications for coastal patrols. I’m waiting to see the damage done to the ship but if two guys and an easily concealed, rapidly deployed weapon can cripple a billion dollar naval vessel... That’s big.

Heres a Stratfor article covering Anti tank missle use by FSA

Looks like TOW missiles are popular.
