Why the Armed Forces are re-profiled Javelin warheads for FPV-pings: in Defense Express explained (video)

The military began to disassemble the FGM-148 Javelin PTRK to remove the warhead and equip it with FPV drone. However, this is done only in a number of cases. The Fatum Unit of the Anti-Tank Division of the 3rd assault brigade showed how the FGM-148 Javelin warheads are used by Ukrainian soldiers for FPV. Defense Express writes about it. Sometimes the defense forces have to disassemble the FGM-148 Javelin PTRK to remove the warhead and equip it with FPV drone (FPV-first-person view-ed. ).

The Fatum Unit of the Anti-Tank Division of the 3rd assault brigade showed it in video. According to the military, they had to do so because the rocket had damage. In other cases, it is irrational. "The rocket has been damaged, so its further use is impossible," Fatum said. If the rocket is incapacitated, the removal of the combat part is appropriate. In the end, it is not about one, but two cumulative combat units (in Javelin - tandem - ed. ) Weighing 8. 4 kg.

The idea may be to use infra -red guide to Javelin, but it has only 64 × 64 pixes resolution. And it needs cooling. It should also be carried out with a variable battery and argon cooling. In general, it is difficult to use this system. However, the situation where the disabled PTKR missile has to be disassembled through the warhead, cannot be considered as ordinary. This suggests that the widespread equipment of FPV-punks with warheads is impossible.
