Javelin vs T-72 | Why Ukraine Wants More Javelin Missiles?

Among the various tank models used by Russia in Ukraine, the T-72 is the most common and has suffered the most casualties.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is already going down in history as the biggest tank slaughter Europe has seen since World War II.

According to some sources Russia has lost 1,450 tanks since the war began, nearly 900 of which have been damaged or destroyed.

Since its introduction, the main battle tank has been one of the most striking elements of the battlefield.

It is impossible not to be intimidated by these metal giants.

But as scary as giants are, almost all of them have a weak spot.

And to exploit that weakness you will need the proper weapon.

FGM-148 Javelin was developed in the latter years of the cold war to fulfill the role of a man-portable and mobile anti-tank weapon that would allow individual soldiers to quickly target tanks and escape to cover before being seen.

This weapon enables a single soldier to move around the battlefield enabling guerrilla warfare tactics to be used against an invading army.

FGM-148 Javelin is a fire and forget missile capable of guiding itself to the most vulnerable region of a tank.
