We have found out that there is less drag when the wire is carried by the missile/torpedo

Modern day wire guided munitions actually have a powered roller so that no longer is the wire pulled from the munition (what a drag) but is fed outside as the munition moves. The intent is do keep the wire just slack through the run.
