Default Re: Javelin ATGM

Here is a flash too. This was a Predator Light ATGM (US) fired at a target M-48 or M60. Notice flash under vehicle.

This also is a top attack ATGM. Most of these type of missiles upon striking the top turret or hull also pen the lower hull creating the little flash you see between the bogies on the T-72 in the Javelin test.

Pic included.

Having top-attack weapons penetrate right through the target and exiting the bottom plate is not strange or suspicious, especially against older types of AFV's (including T-72 of various marks).

Films on Saab Bofors Dynamics homepage show both rbs56 and STRIX penetrating the bottom plate of tanks for those who wants to see.

Thank you Backis for your input!

Did anyone notice that most sources state the pen of the Javelin as 600mm and not the 450mm that is now in the game?
