As a US taxpayer and veteran, I believe the Javelin is well worth the cost and I am more than willing to see it advanced to defeat any stinking dictator like Putin regardless the cost.
Are you a Veteran a stinky Yankee who shit in Afghanistan? Pray to God the Russians don't unite your troops in Poland! When they withdraw, we real Germans expect them here with us, then God help you! We have no peace treaty with you!
If the Russians used their troops correctly, upon contact with the enemy have ground troops engage opposing troops with javelin immediately then lay covering fire with tanks/heavy mechanized vehicles they would have much greater success.
Tanks used to be a soldiers best friend. The Javelin has changed all that, with the "Fire & Forget" coupled with a 90% kill ratio. 25 times cheaper than a Russian tank & way more mobile. Tanks are supposed to save soldiers.... Now it needs soldiers to expose themselves to protect it.
@@brianford8493 i can only begin to imagine what that must feel like. The gut wrenching anxiety from the thought of your vehicle being violently ripped apart with you trapped in it.
I worked at Lockheed Martin for 13 years and proud to say we build the Javelin missile. I loved working on this program. It’s small but it takes many steps to build, test, and get it ready for our soldiers.
We should never stop improving our weapons nor stop trying to lower the cost but still maintain a high standard and quality. Our military deserves the best there is.
@T8KN URMOJO that’s never gonna change though, nobody would ever be dumb enough to lower the spending significantly with the wars going on now and ones bound to happen

i think you guys are on the wrong side of history, again. ukraine has been bombing russians for 8 years, so don't be quick to buy bullshit you're being spoonfed.
As a retired Army Airborne Officer, I can appreciate the development of the Javelin weapon system. It's accuracy and destructive power is a step in the right direction.
Only problem is america can’t make more than 1000 of them a year and we’re sending how many to Ukraine? I heard we can only make like 750 hellfires a month. You expect to win a war with that manufacturing ability? Someone is going out of their way to weaken the US. Now is not the time to empty our stockpiles when it will take YEARS to rebuild them UNLESS your goal is to destroy the country.
Looks like “the best way to kill a tank is with another tank” might be going away. One kf these things is $80,000, an M1 needs a crew of four, costs millions, needs extensive maintenance, lots of fuel. If you're shooting from three clicks away and concealed, can’t see much defense against it.
with Javelins and Switchblade loitering drones, tanks have a significant new risk of defeat - without ever seeing another tank. WW2 tactics are over. But don't tell Putin and his Generals. Let 'em come.
infrared cloaking, but that may not work in the long run as the munitions get smarter, they may not need to rely on infrared anymore. For every measure, it's possible to make a countermeasure.
If I was Russian I would be more scared my tank will break down or run out of diesel or food. For that matter. Hard to fight when you have not eaten for a week
Reasons for continued upgrades and replacement technologies: 1) extended range 2) weight reduction 3) improved propulsion systems 4) improved tracking systems There are probably even more reasons that I haven't thought of. As long as technology continues to progress, abilities will change over time. What seems to be enough for now will cease to be enough in 15 to 20 years.
@Damion Lim-Dawes, *Wayne* uses colons, numerical bullet points, and words & phrases such as _improved propulsion, tracking systems,_ and _will cease to be enough._ You, on the other hand, have severely-limited punctuation skills and can't even spell _you're._ You've got no shot with him, kid...
@Damion Lim-Dawes, well, you _could_ say that.... (I see what you did, btw -- condensing your "you're" even further. Points for variety, but the original misspelling still stands.)
I would add, on the first position (beside what you sir said, the deceptive launch location) in order to hide the launcher. In this regards I would do it in two pieces, one stays fixed in the ground, the rochet itself, and the soldier who shoot the target stays totaly separated, relatively far away from the rocket itself. It this configuration you can also deploy multiple rockets and launch them with the same launcher.

@@ruzziasht349 I watched those vids, and I have to say the Brits got my respect. NLAW works pretty good, and at half the cost of a Jav. Now I must say the Brits had a HUGE overstock of those weapons, and they sent thousands of them to Ukraine. It is very likely that out of every 3 tanks destroyed- one was done in by NLAW. NLAW however has a 2 mile range, and Javelin has an expected 7 mile range. I am a fan of both, but Javelin is a superior weapon, but superior matters not if you can't field it immediatly, and I respect the Brits for the incredible speed they got those weapons to the fighters. You can have the best weapon in the world, but if your logistics suck so does your army.
Not so much. Dont buy the hype! French MMP, Israeli Spike, Chinese HJ-12, are all similar or better. The effectivness is also overrated here. In Ukraine most tank kills are not done by this weapon. Artillery, mines, rpgs.
@Scott McConnell Well its not in a class of its own. Several other systems available like this now from France, Israel and China. It was probably put to good use by the US when artillery was not available, but Ukrainians use whatever they can yet there is little evidence of its effective use. I think its not as effective there as they say...
@@slawomirozdoba4605 Yeah, but Russia has a shitload of tanks and they don´t care about their losses. For any country facing Russia (or any bigger opponent) you need not only to have strong weapons..you need to have enough of them.

@@slawomirozdoba4605 yes, but the point is, you'll need 10 Javelins to kill 10 tanks, the same 10 tanks that could be killed for 1/10th the price. In war, the objective is to conserve your own resources while destroying those of the enemy, and money IS a resource.
@@miketogwell1000 most battles are close quarters and ambush situations, making NLAW and Panzerfaust3 much better. Javelin is good for firing in open countryside.
I absolutely loved the accuracy and power of our cruise missiles in the NAVY! During the Operation Desert Storm, seeing them launched up close can't be explained in words, the power...the horror.
Why hasn't Biden gave them the cruise missiles that can put Moscow in range , we have them .? Moscow is just 260 miles away, you can drive 260 Miles in Texas and never leave Texas, that's how far away Moscow is .

Killing civilians, you think that is amazing??? 500,000 kids in Iraq died said Albright who was OK with that.....Russians are professionals, doing what they can th protect civilians. They don't bomb cities into oblivion like we do..Shame on all of you!!! You willing to die for Hunter Biden and the other criminals in Ukraine? That is what this is about.
9:45 is terrifying! The fact that the first blow hit, and a ton of smoke came out of the barrel, then the super fast and super hot fire afterwards with the ammunition catching on fire, is truely terrifying!

Rusky Tanks can't really get to US practically, logistics would be re-dic-u-loss .... Europe, yeah but still. Tanks are a dated devise, unless some new tech advances. A light fast moving force would be a step. Armor is usless , heavy and fuel demanding.

@@MrCPPG Thales in Belfast make Starstreak and Javelin. However, despite looking very similar the two Javelins look very similar. The Belfast one is a SAM. My bad.
I’m realty, you can’t do shit Eric. And the US military isn’t unstoppable. USs greatest strength is it’s allies. EU is 20% of the global economy and the most influential region on earth. Handy for the US to have Canada, Europe, Oceania, Japan, India etc as allies, because we’re all allied under the same belief. European ideals, democracy, freedom and safety. They are the main ideologies of Europe. That’s why foreign countries like USA also believe in them and speak our languages etc, because Europe is so influential
The switchblades 300 and 600 along with javelins can stop tanks in their tracks. You can launch a swarm of switch blades and they can find targets at range and obliterate a whole lot of tanks without warning and without revealing a position. They work well on the supply trucks too and wiping out an army’s supply stops the army. 30 guys brought that 40 kilometer line to a halt. And they had to leave. I would get people on atvs again and send them with both systems and stop the build up by hitting behind their lines and take out the logistics. Tanks do not run on air and soldiers need food. Remove those and it has a big impact. Russian doctrine has logistics driving strategy and that is a big weak point. Once they are exposed they can be cut off. Get the depots and the trucks and their army stops and run out of supplies and they have to retreat.
The Russian model of logistics driving strategy is a well recognized failing point. The idea of vehicles shooting these rockets sounds well for increased firepower but is exposed to itself becoming a very identifiable Target. Also there's a lot to be said when an infantry soldiers running around with $100,000 on his shoulder. The hidden message is we trust this soldier to respect the value of this rocket and I believe most soldiers would work very hard to find a way to improve the strike ability of the rocket they launch. Sort of like hittinga home run when you're up to bat..
I've seen the switchblade 300 being fired and it is directable but amounts to an explosion the size of a hand grenade it won't stop a tank the 600 is different. Much more powerful.
The smaller Switchblade is perfect for taking out enemies armed with their own shoulder-fired weapons. I'm thinking for a future opponent. So you'd go into battle with a diversity of arms.
With a 12% failure rating, cost for cost comparison: Soldier fireing can move position, saving his life and reload, 100,000$ For missle against a 10,000,000$ Tank. No contest Javelin is a remarcable tool. Keep what you have and upgrade as technology and production costs come down. A game changer!
Perhaps you missed the comment but the video said Russian tanks cost 2 million not $10 million dollars. In any case the point is the same it's still a great investment.
Very interesting, and very encouraging. If we get enough of these to those brave Ukrainian soldiers maybe they'll have a chance. This war sucks, but losing is NOT an option.
It isn't a war if it was a war putin would have committed more soldiers to the fight with ukraine. A country the size of Russia could easily pull out a million soldiers.
@@namehere4954 ...economies are ALWAYS gained by increasing production for two reasons, overhead and knowledge gained, second, how is 80K with a 86% success rate absurd when you consider it kills the vehicle, the crew, or in a personnel carrier the squad.

@@wokewokerman5280 contract prices are locked in - the manufacturer isn't dropping it's price to the military. Any efficiencies gained are reaped by the manufacturer. I find it absurd because we spend so much and invest so heavily in the military but their funding & values are skewed. Equipment is heavily invested in, the humans that volunteer to operate that equipment and die for their country are not. I want humans who have the capacity & tools to murder other humans and destroy this planet to be at their physical and mental best. They should be fed well, educated, and receive adequate services - at the bare minimum and we don't even do that. So yes, I find it absurd that equipment is more valued than the human. It doesn't even take a fraction of the inputs to dramatically shift the human side.
I’m surprised the narrator didn’t pronounce TOW correctly - “toe” 12:15. I always thought I’d be a sitting duck keeping the crosshairs on an enemy tank as the missile traveled to max range..(especially with the huge backblast signature). USMC ‘82-86
I think Ukrainian soldiers should be given high torque off-road electric powered bikes with heavy-duty panniers to hold critical gear. Including a single wheeled off-road trailer to carry heavy weapons and Javelin's around.
I think a vehicle-mounted version of Javelin should have the added capability to identify, lock onto and engage multiple enemy targets simultaneously. If it's unnerving to the enemy to see one of their main battle tanks taken out without warning, imagine if 6 of their tanks were suddenly taken out without warning. They'd be surrendering immediately, and that's the best possible outcome of an engagement: the quickest victory outcome with the least casualties possible, both to our side, and the enemy. Why should we even consider minimizing enemy casualties as part of the equation? Because the enemies we're (the West) likely to be engaging have been fed a steady diet of bull$hit about the West, and the best possible weapon is one that produces huge numbers of enemy combatants who want to fight WITH us against their former masters, with the aim of overthrowing them. This is going to become the most important force multiplier in conflicts from now on.
Use Ai in the Javelin to seek out tanks. This way you can shoot off a large number of Javelins into an area that will seek out their own tanks. Javelins will talk to other Javelins to keep targets independent.
Hopefully they will continue to improve this weapon to keep its lethality high for the future too. I was a tanker and wouldn't have liked this missile shot at me!
In my opinion any direct conflict involving U.S. and R.F. (Russian Federation) military personnel will have very similar, but more profound and far-reaching, effects as the defeat of front-line Russian military technologies in the first Gulf War - which directly resulted in the demise of the Soviet Union. Any confrontation between Russian and U.S. military units, whether occuring in the air, on the sea, or on the ground will quickly illustrate a vast tactical and strategic difference in combat effectiveness between the two organizations. One is made up of Free Men, mostly college educated, who have chosen this particular science to dedicate their lives to, has a rich tradition of rewarding individual initiative in defense of Freedom around the world and deploys the latest high-technology components of the arsenal of Freedom. The other - made up of unwilling conscripts who are conditioned to follow orders exactly and are afraid to deviate from strictly orchestrated, highly detailed, written orders issued miles from the front lines - a dogmatic, outdated, heirarchical military stucture, under which uninformed conscripts, filled with propagandist lies, are more terrified of their own commanders than of enemy forces, using technologies from the 1980's. One does not need to be an historian or "rocket scientist" to extropalate the probable outcome of this kind of clash. Develop a new system? Hell yes. Enemies of Freedom don't even comprehend the unknown demons that await them on the battlefield once U.S. forces become involved.
Very clear, brilliant, and simple assessment of what has happened in the past month. Prior to Ukraine, what you stated was merely a hopeful outcome, an educated guess. Boy has that story changed in a matter of six weeks! To go from wishful thinking, to raw, undeniable fact. Actually, much as I feel for the Ukrainian people, I feel very, very sorry for those poor Russian kids and their parents who don't deserve any of this.
The NATO officer Corps is well educated professional career minded. HOWEVER enlisted is usually 18 year olds with basic HS education.

NLAW maximum range is about 800 meters. Javelin’s maximum range is about 2500 meters. NLAW can be used as close as 20 meters. Javelin minimum range is about 150 meters. One is not necessarily better than the other, but depends upon the circumstances
@@petersouthernboy6327 I think there is room for both of them. If I remember well, you can buy 5 NLAWs for 1 Javelin. In urban areas you don't need the long range and its better to have (more for the same money) NLAWs
NLAW and Javelin have different roles and the typical "keyboard warrior" commentary that is going on all around your comment is just waste of internet. There is not relevant to try to compare the two weapon systems.
Great training videos.The introduction of the Javelin only changed the tactics of the Russians. No they will siege every city from a distance ,leveling every town.
In a way this knowledge could help win this war. If russia knows they can’t get into the city with the only advantage they have over ground troops which is armor, then how will they ever win this war? Winning wars requires taking over cities and getting the enemy to surrender. No cities no win. They can shell the cities perpetually but that will only bring more criticism and less support for them as a whole.
@@1timmeh they aren't there to win anything. Just destroy the very idea of Ukraine. You can destroy by artillery barrage, just what they are doing right now.
Any time a single soldier can defeat a multimillion dollar armored vehicle with a light weight shoulder mounted weapon it becomes a nightmare for opposing armored forces.
How much does one Javelin cost ? That is the real question. If the target is a 25 year old tank and a Javelin costs $500k? then it drastically reduces how often you would actually use the Javelin. For a verified high value target the javelin seems like a bulletproof Tank killer.
174,000 for the unit and 78,000 for the missile which has underperformed so badly in Ukraine they no longer ask for them. most European equivalents have faired better, less bulky, not as heavy and far cheaper. kornet from Russia is a fraction of the cost and far more successful and faster at acquiring targets. Ukraine armed forces no longer ask the USA for javelins.
I would argue, far greater than a javelin or any 1 particular defensive system is the people. If you invade someone’s homeland and do not have a right to be there you will eventually loose through attrition eg, Afghanistan for the French, English, Russian & Americans.
@jz Ukraine armed service has already publicly stated this. Not really BS. Here’s something your fragile mind might not understand. Just because it’s made by the USA doesn’t mean its the best or best suited for a particular war. Many EU nations make great weapons along with Russians. Russians get far better bang for their buck. A kornet ATGM is 20,000 per missile vs. Javelin 78,000 Kornet is tried and true for decades and highly reliable taking out Abraham’s tanks in previous wars. Germany also has very good ATGM’s. Far cheaper too.

Hypergolic intermittent jet propelled Javelin for a 20 KM range would be good. ZigZag and curved flight Javelin might be useful when you can't get line of sight to the target and to avoid counter measures.
@@Gorf2003 no, you got me confused. New corvettes are worth waaaay more than 16-17k. I'm thinking more of the price of a new Corvette is about the price of 1 jav rocket (sometimes more, sometimes less but a higher than base one from the factory is around 80k and sometimes more with a premium model). And those tanks are about 30 times that much. Thou of course there's some price range to the comment as some tanks are cheaper or more expensive, however the price of those javs is to my knowledge always around 80k. Hence why to me throwing 80k at something worth a few millions is like throwing a Corvette at the tank which is expensive but not that much considering how much more monetary cost that blown up tank costs So in other words, it's still totally worth doing considering the relative cost.
@@namelessdata4608 hehe, I kinda wrote that before the 80k per missile came up in the video. But are you talking about Corvette, the Car or the Warship? There's like a couple of millions difference xD
The military tank has come to the end of its evolution. Those countries still buying these second rate vehicles from Russia, will have to do some thinking.
Yes, a successor to the Javelin should be developed. If it meets needs now, it will not meet needs in the future. Prepare for future conflicts, not for the conflicts of today.
Yes, continued weapons development is always needed. The future looks more like the switchblade loitering drones. These drones fly around and hoover above for up to 45 minutes before coming down and cost significantly less. Future battlefields could easily use drones like this that hoover for days to weeks. Future battlefields could have drones like this used for people. Landmines, machine guns, self driving vehicles, there are lots of ways for equipment to get smart.

Knowledge es so importante. Why? COD MW2 taught me the Javelin was under-used, not powerful, useless, heavy, etc. While the RPG was preferable. However, we are talking video game vs real life. This video opened up my eyes. Thank you!
The NLAW is cheaper and lighter with apparently similar effectiveness. Generally combat drones are a nice platform for Javelins, and a datalink to reconnaissance drones would allow to transfer the location and image of a target behind an obstacle to a Javelin launcher.
Weapons development can never stop, or you will be obsoleted quickly. Keep developing new systems and improving the old as long as they are still viable. We will never "arrive." We have to keep developing and comparing to potential enemy's weapons in the rest of the world. Strive to leave the enemy in the dust, but use only what is necessary.

It is very hard to hit a missile coming straight at you.... All you can do is put shrapnel in its way before it gets to you and hits that instead of you. It is even harder to do when something is coming down at you. Its hard to fire straight up with accuracy at one small point.
Javelin is great in the open spaces of the country side, unfortunately most engagement in Ukraine are close-quarter battles and ambush scenarios, making the NLAW are much better weapon as it requires only one person to fire and you don't have to carry anything afterwards, making escape easier and safer.
This comment is total bollocks as 1. Its already has been stated that aprx 400 russian targets have been destroyed iwith Javelins in Ucraine and 2. many russian columns have been hit while traveling the vast open terrain in Ucraine and the upcoming russian offensive in the south of Ucraine is making Ucrainian AT units with Javelins drooling

I hate war, but might as well thank Putin for his volunteers that are being scraped off the interior of the tanks. Putin won’t be visiting the front ever, I bet.

I will tell you a strategy, the Javelin carrier should be accompanied by a driver in a two seater custom ATV, because ATV can run quick, small and hard target for tanks and is more fuel efficient can run cover more distance. or at least produce a war specific ATV with larger tanks and compartment for javelin ammo, or maybe it can be an electric ATV with a standbye mobile charger within the battlezone. One shot, change postion, shot, change postition just like a sniper. And at least 50 javelin squad should be deployed in a tank route.. accompanied by at least dozen of snipers a few clicks behind to attack possible ground men that will retaliate. Generals could actually learn from me because I am a war champ.
