Exactly in target: DSSU showed how Javelin helps destroy Russian technique (video)

Javelin PTRC can "neutralize" the enemy at a distance of 4750 meters. Ukrainian defenders effectively use American complexes on the front, undermining the occupants. The portable anti-tank rocket complex of the American production FGM-148 Javelin successfully eliminated the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the front line. On July 24, the press service of the State Border Service shared the relevant personnel on July 24.

In the video, you can see how the defenders are shot at the unnamed front. In a few seconds, hostile moving equipment explodes, and smoke rises into the sky. As focus wrote earlier, the third-generation PTRK FGM-148 Javelin is one of the world's most famous anti-tank missile systems. Javelins produce American companies Raytheon and Lockheed. The weight of these weapons is over 22 kilograms, and the maximum impact range is 4750 meters.

In May, it became known that Raytheon Technologies received a contract for the development and supply of electro -optic guidance systems for Javelin. Thanks to these systems, complexes will be able to strike accurately for purposes, even in conditions of obstacles and complex terrain. The PTRC, which are now used, is equipped with thermal homing. After renewing weapons, visible light and laser rangefinder will also help.
