Keep up the fight, Ukes!!
This missile was developed and continues to be managed by the Army at Redstone Arsenal Alabama. The same location that put men on the moon.
There has been much made of this 40 mile long Russian convoy that is approaching Kiev from the north and is said to be just a few miles outside the city. If the Ukrainians have Javelins, drones, some aircraft and know the terrain well, how is it that this massive convoy proceeds or positions itself without being attacked? Any insights or comments
638 hits out of 740 missiles (if all have been fired). Outstanding hit rate.
Anybody believes the media? We don’t believe them when it comes to covid, but we believe them when it comes to Ukraine?
The missle (not the launcher) costs about $180K each.
The article forgets to mention Trump sent these missiles while Barak sent blankets.
Javelins are not a panacea for Ukraine. They are an infantry weapon with relatively short range though there are longer range versions possibly available. They can certainly destroy tanks but the infantry themselves are vulnerable to an enemy that controls the air and has sufficient numbers of infantry and IFVs to counteract them. The best way to kill armor is still aircraft and other armor.
What is this St. Javelin crap! That’s a blasphemous use of an icon of the Theotokos.
I say the old Russian SPG-9 73 mm ecoilliess gun is also taking down a lot of Russian armored vehicles, too.
The reactive packs are on the side so if the Javelin hits from the top it won’t encounter those, I would think.
Blasphemy for a noble cause is still blasphemy.
Imagine the impact of just a dozen or more direct strikes on tanks/artillery.
Small groups in the field strike and flee.
As was the case for all wars during the Cold War, the purpose of US involvement is as a proving ground for US munitions as they are offered for sale to other nations.
yes, let’s all cheer on the javelin. You don’t want a conventional war? How about a nuclear one. Almost everyone here is missing the point. This war was preventable but was intentionally ignited by the Biden/DeepState admin. We should be actively trying to push for peace and give up the Ukraine/NATO thing. Every death be it Russian soldier, Ukrainian soldier or civilian is a tragedy and we should be trying to STOP it. Quit being bewitched by the MSM.
They're not using modern tanks, they're using 50 year old T55 tanks from what I have read.
