Most battles in syria are close range which is not good for tanks especially with TOW missiles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGM-71_...rian_Civil_War
A sudden influx of TOWS were supplied in May 2015, mostly to Free Syrian Army affiliated factions, but also independent Islamist battalions; as a requirement of being provided TOWS, these Syrian opposition groups are required to document the use of the missiles by filming their use, and are also required to save the spent missile casings. Groups provided with TOWS include the Hazzm Movement, the 13th Division (Syrian rebel group), Syria Revolutionaries Front, Yarmouk Army, Knights of Justice Brigade, and the 101st Division (Syrian rebel group). Free Syrian Army battalions widely and decisively used TOWS in the 2015 Jisr al-Shughur offensive.

Perhaps such missiles are less effective at shorter ranges where they haven't accelerated to full speed yet?
