Скачать или смотреть The Javelin Missile: Why This High-Tech Weapon Was the SASR’s Ultimate Answer to Taliban Fortresses

Two thousand and six. Uruzgan Province. Taliban commanders begin abandoning fortified compounds — not because of airstrikes, but because of what kept punching through three-meter walls they believed were impregnable for centuries.

This video reveals the shocking story behind the weapon employment so controversial that coalition headquarters stopped calling it innovation and started filing accountability reports instead. How Australian Special Air Service operators transformed America's premier anti-tank missile into a fortress-demolition tool so devastating that Green Beret after-action reports used words like magnificent and terrifying in the same sentence.

The Javelin campaign so psychologically crushing that intercepted Taliban communications stopped referring to Australian teams as soldiers — they were logged as Bearded Ghosts. Discover why American intelligence officers watching SASR Javelin assaults filed reports stating the unit operates with minimal oversight and maximum violence of action — and what they witnessed during twelve-minute compound clearances that made even Delta Force operators uncomfortable.

Learn about the FGM-one-forty-eight anti-armor system designed to kill Soviet tanks that Australian operators repurposed with a single goal: to erase mud-brick fortresses in seconds and assault through the smoking breach before dust settled. And understand the operational culture that transformed elite commandos into something coalition headquarters could not control — the warriors who made compound walls disappear and left Taliban fighters preferring civilian disguise over facing another Javelin strike.

The classified American assessment from Operation Spinner concluded that Australian methods raised questions about existing engagement protocols. The tactical effectiveness was deemed undeniable but sustainability remained concerning. And the discrepancies noted by embedded advisors about suppressed weapon fire heard during room clearances would generate investigations that lasted years.

From the modified carrying harnesses that let two-man teams carry seventy-kilogram missiles into impossible terrain to the night operations that read as demolition rather than assault, this is the story that official military history tried to sanitize.
