I still remember the Javelin when it was in all 3 of the Modern Warfare games. In every mission where you face a tank, you have an objective to grab a Javelin, and destroy said tanks A notable mission is Modern Warfare 2, when going full action movie, you use a Javelin to destroy about a dozen Russian BTRs and Havoc attack choppers, as you defend an evacuation site at the Washington Memorial

The game gave me a Javelin and when I first used it, the missile went out, flew high and went directly right on top of the tank with its top-attack mode, destroying it instantly. My kid brain thought then and there that the Javelin became one of the coolest weapons ever.

Apparently during the height of the GWOT, the going price of a CLU module was one MICH 2001 high cut helmet. Andy Stumpf told a story about it on a podcast where he used the Javelin to target infantry that was outside the range of their snipers, and air support would take too long. He got the CLU by trading one of the Navy high cut helmets with an Army SMU.

Awesome video!! I work at a warehouse on a military installation and issue Javelin training devices to the solders all the time. We have a classroom trainer which basically consists of a student station and an instructor station. The student station has a computerized Javelin that the student uses to get the feel of how the Javelin works. The instructor station consists of scenarios of how to put the weapon into operation and engage enemy targets. Also, we have a Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) of the Javelin that the soldiers will take out to field training exercises. This system goes through the same procedures as a soldier would go through on an actual Javelin, except the MILES version will emit a laser when engaging vehicles and will "kill" a vehicle as well. Think of this as a rather large "laser-tag" weapon. Finally. we also have an INERT or DUMMY Javelin that looks and weighs just like the real thing. Primary purpose of that INERT Javelin is to give the "lucky" gunner the experience of humping one of those things around the battlefield during field training exercises.

This is the way KZbin channels should be done… when talking about different weapon systems. You get right to the point with information that’s detailed, accurate, and factual. You talk about the way these weapons are depicted in TV shows and the movies, and what those TV shows and movies get right and wrong about the weapons. You present the information at a good steady pace so it can be easily understood, and don’y try to throw out a bunch of random facts in rapid fire secession meant for people with a 0.2 second attention span. But what’s more important is the stuff you DON’T do. > NO goofy voice inflection > NO bad jokes > NO unnecessary sound affects > NO rapid fire editing sequences meant to give the clips “energy", but are done with absolutely no skill and therefore it all ends up a train wreck. > NO starting every clip with the person making it on camera, with the first thing out of his mouth being: “Hey guys, so before I get to the subject of this clip I’m gunna talk about a bunch of personal stuff that has nothing to do with anything, because I know all my trillions of fans are on the edge of their seat waiting to hear every detail of my life…. because I am THAT interesting. So, I finally popped that blister on my ass….” Or something along those lines. If I had a nickel for every KZbin clip that started out with the words “Hey guys…” I’d have a shit load of nickels… and about $80,000,000,000,000000. (aka eighty quadrillion dollars) I had no idea that the Javelin could be used on drones, or anything in the air for that matter. So now it can be used on tanks and bunkers, in an anti-personal capacity, AND against airborne targets. In the not too distant past you would have needed 3 different weapons systems to do those things. Not anymore. Literally more bang for your buck. I look forward to seeing any new weapons systems you add in the future. Great stuff. Keep it up.

If the targeting system can be used independently from the javelin, could multiple javelins be linked to a single targeting system? If so, could they be fired consecutively or altogether? Also, if a single targeting system is able to fire multiple javelins, could the javelins be hidden in various locations (somewhat nearby if the range is limited), and the user hiding with a good vantage point and fire them upon a target?

Don't get me wrong, it would probably cause the missile to blow apart, but not in the way it was intended...or the place intended also

The only disadvantage I can see with these types of weapons is the operator needs to have line of sight to the target, even if they can quickly take cover or retreat. An advantage and disadvantage for the Ukrainians is that they sometimes need to fire from near suicidal ranges because of obstructing trees. A solution (perhaps solved, or being solved?) is to have a separate designator like with laser guided bombs which could be a soldier in a tree line or from a loitering drone.

Great video, though the cages on top were to prevent top-dowm RPG attacks. The last time Russia invaded they suffered heavy from AT troops shooting down at them from highrise flats. They were never designed to counter Javelins, as Russia had no way of knowing/planning on Ukraine using them. Ukraine receiving them was a direct result of Russias aggression.

Yeah, cage armor won't work on warheads 100mm or bigger so it was never designed for javelins or tow 2b
