The Ukrainian military continues to effectively use Javelin man-portable anti-tank missile systems. A video has appeared on the Web showing how, with the help of one of these, an occupying infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed.

It is assumed that the Ukrainian military could not approach the BMP, and therefore decided to destroy it. The process of defeating enemy armored vehicles was monitored using an unmanned aerial vehicle (model not specified).

Recall, Javelin is an American ATGM manufactured by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The missile is equipped with a thermal homing head, which frees the operator from tracking and adjusting the flight after launch. Deliveries of Javelin to Ukraine began in the spring of 2018.
