Tube launched Optically targeted Wire guided missile. rpgs are launched from smaller tubes. what my man was firing was a tank or apc buster. the tube he fired could hold about 9 rpg rounds easily , the gyro fans expanded as soon as the projectile left the tube, rpgs have fixxed 'fins'. rpgs look more like morraccas while the tow missile looks like a stub missile. rpg= rocket propelled grenade. <-more along the lines of a mortor shell with a little more 'umph' behind it. generally used with the high intensity cardboard 'throw away ' tubes.
i was commenting on the fact that the video was not that amazing, you get to see a tow go less than a quatermile and hit the ground.
find another one of those cockpit camera videos from the apache and you'll be really onto something.
