Military analysts @UAWeapons published another spectacular video of the AFU.
What’s In the Video?
The video shows how the AFU destroyed a Russian tank using the FGM-148 Javelin APC. The video was shot near Izyum, Kharkiv region.
Recall, the FGM-148 Javelin is a man-portable anti-tank missile system manufactured by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. It boasts a missile with a thermal homing head. That means that the operator of the system doesn't have to accompany and correct the flight of the missile after launch. The complex weighs about 22.3 kg. The range of operation of the ATGM can reach 4,750 meters.
