They used it to clear a hse of suspected resistance.. -
I remember watching this video before. I always get really impressed upon watching it.
The Javelin works on the principle that the top armour is quite thin compared to the frontal armour right? I think I remember reading somewhere that the T-95 tank, which is under development, will be capable of defeating the Javelin. -
LOL, wait til u see tanks pop chaff to defeat anti armor missiles.
Oh btw, i found out our spikes were also wire guided. So it allows mid-flight update should the firer decide not to shoot n scoot. -
Top down.That's what our ABMS does too.

Holy Shit!!!

Our SPIKEs are wire-guided meh?I thought that they are Fire-and-Forget missiles.Thats what a Malay 2WO told me during the Carnival at the bay...

They're wire-guided with both fire-and-forget mode and mid-course correction mode.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Our SPIKEs are wire-guided meh?I thought that they are Fire-and-Forget missiles.Thats what a Malay 2WO told me during the Carnival at the bay... -
Not taking anything away from the Javelin but the very impressive explosion seen in the video has been "enhanced"
I remember reading that the testers packed the target hulk with fuel and explosives ... supposedly to simulate the ammo and fuel on board but nonetheless slightly unrealistic in that the pyrotechnics were rigged to go bang.
