The Javelin

@Jolly has forgotten more about this than I'll ever know, but ...
The Javelin Is Wrecking Putin's Army. Here's How the Anti-Tank Weapon Works
Ukraine is a highly devout country – about 87% of its 41 million citizens practice Christianity. So it's notable that, to many Ukrainians, Mary Magdalene now has a new moniker: St. Javelin.
Read the rest on how this thing works.

The Canadians also had a portable system called Javelin back in the day, but it was a SAM. The U.S. Javelin is anti-armor, and was a product of TI (maybe Copper worked on it?) and Lockheed. It's a well proven system and can defeat reactive armor.
It's shoot and scoot, or a two-man team can reload and get another one off in 15 seconds.
As with most things the Chinese have a copy, but I don't have a clue whether it's as good or not.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

It’s always something.

He was at a different Dallas company, 3 letters, not 2.
Yup, we were on the west side of N. Central Expressway, TI was on the east side.
Actually, TI was everywhere. They ruled to calculator world. They needed a lot of people.

We’re sending over 100 84mm Carl Gustav Recoilless rifles with 2000 rockets. Not sure what else, but whatever it’s too little and probably too late.

I agree @George-K
But, i guess for USD $175000 per missle, it had better be good. LOL
