Question: Who is threatening this Estonia ?? The point is in the purchase of such modern weapons by Estonia, if its "army", by definition, can not carry out anything more ambitious than police operations ?? Of course, I don't care about their business, but just recently their prime minister complained a lot about the fall of the agricultural sector ... And finally, I don't just have software, but software. Europygmies. On the map of Europe, the place is in vain ...

The report on the sale of missiles to Estonia by the US agency also said: "" "This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally.

The proposed sale will improve Estonia’s ability to counter current and future threats and provide greater security for its critical infrastructure. Estonia will use the enhanced opportunities to strengthen its defense. It will not be difficult for Estonia to adapt these missiles to its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not change the basic military balance in the region.

The main contractors will be the Raytheon / Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint Venture in Orlando, Florida and Tucson, ""

The complex can only fire at targets in direct line of sight, which casts doubt on its advantages over the 2nd generation ATGM (Metis-M, Cornet) at distances of more than 1000 meters. But at the same time, it must be borne in mind that at such a distance hand grenade launchers can only hit lightly armored targets. To destroy modern tanks, a heavy grenade is required, with a range of about 200 meters, in addition, most of them have problems with the defeat of modern tanks in the frontal projection, which makes their use extremely difficult.

[Juborg]

They decided to attack Russia, as in the famous video, four people from the northeast, six people with the Javelin ATGM from the south (from Kazakhstan!), Three more from the Mongolian steppes, well, two people each but the same with ATGM " Javelin "will disembark from a decommissioned submarine rented from Bulgaria. Here is a plan to capture and subjugate Russia. I probably did not take into account something, for example, the unification of the armed forces of the Baltic states suffering from various kinds of Russophobia. Perhaps the sprats found a market for their sprats, somewhere in Ethiopia, and with the proceeds they decided to fulfill the dream of all the Balts and bring Russia to its knees, probably with the help of these Javelin ATGMs.
As you know, this is a banter, but with a grain of truth. And what is this share ?!

in addition, most of them have problems with the defeat of modern tanks in the frontal projection, which makes their use extremely difficult.

The missile has two target attack modes: dive mode (dive angle 45 °) and direct attack in the horizontal plane. The first mode is used when acting against tanks and allows you to hit the target from above in the least protected areaThe second is against protected objects (such as a bunker, bunker, bunker) and helicopters.

Those. in your opinion Metis-M and Cornet can be used for purposes that are not visible? What kind of nonsense are you writing? What do you even know about these ATGMs? In these ATGMs, the missile is guided at the target by a laser beam, ask yourself if you need a "line of sight to the target"? How are you going to aim at a target without seeing it?
In Javelin, Metis-M and Kornet anti-tank systems for detecting and aiming at a target, electron-optical devices having multiplicity and the ability to identify the target by thermal radiation are used. The difference between them is only in the guidance system and principle.

Don’t be bothered, Cornet goes along the laser beam, and Metis along the wires! In Javelin, he was brought in, shot, and you can fuck from there!

Estonia is in NATO. Purchases standardized samples. What is so unusual here?

[zennon]

Quote: Bersaglieri

What is so unusual here?

Yes, in general, nothing. It’s only a little expensive - $ 50 per set. At the same time, it is quite bulky and heavy - more than 000 kg. It is ineffective for punching frame walls (reinforced concrete or brick). In general, it is ineffective against bunkers, and protected targets. Cooling of NVD (Night Vision Sight) requires 22-2,5 minutes. The minimum range of 3,5 meters. In the city is problematic. And so everything is good.

[Bersaglieri]

This is another question.
The main task of the Estonian army is to demonstrate the presence of weapons at the Republic Day parade. Well, contain 1-2 companies of peacekeepers (to participate in joint operations somewhere in the Land of Evil Zusulov). All.

I must admit that today the Jewel Spear is the best and most modern portable weapon of the 3rd generation with almost 100% target damage from any angle. the charge falls on the target vertically from the top to places not covered by armor; in addition, a shot from the discharge pulnul and forgot that it was a very formidable weapon, but unfortunately we don’t have such a terrible weapon.

The original interpretation. Maybe it's easier to hit the road first?

# I have a suspicion that the Estonians will quietly throw them to the Outskirts, like "friendly help".

And the painfully couch troops of adjacent quasi-formation were already excited:

Can't wait for this to be used against russian tanks, when russia tries to invade something else than ukraine.

He has his own shortcomings, the goal should be in direct line of sight, this is a huge minus, and when shooting in the forehead, his effectiveness is not great.

where does the projectile from above hit the target

[typhoon7]

You are mistaken, he also hits horizontally and here his efficiency is far from good. Our anti-tank systems bypass it in all respects.

[Dan4eG]

You are mistaken, horizontally he hits too

Yes, it beats, and who is going to use it against tanks? Is it horizontally against bunkers and all sorts of structures!

In the Russian complex "Cornet" the principle of "see-shoot" and a laser-beam control system are implemented, which allows the ATGM to achieve a large maximum firing range in comparison with the western ATGM built on the principle of "shot-and-forget." Although this American dart is also a serious thing, I agree. Only figs he Estonia?

[Wedmak]

Well they are terrified of Russian tanks. They were clearly shown that the ditches and wooden obstacles for the T-72 are not an obstacle, so they are worried.

Probably no one has explained to Estonia that if (God forbid, of course) there is a mess, no one will attack them, it’s just one gasp on the territory to gasp for, then there’s no one to whine about the occupation.

They can’t figure it out with one button, but then the devil’s leg will break. So for the beauty of the type, even if we have it it will be the same American. I’m looking at Estonians and I think they will soon worship the Americans. Well, everything will be mowed under them and their purchases will be the same.

[wanderer_032]

Of all such news, only one picture is formed.
The United States and NATO are concentrating military forces in Eastern Europe to create an attack force on Russian borders.
They do this gradually, military units on the territory of the Baltic states, as well as weapons and military equipment, arrive little by little, so as not to attract close attention to themselves, under various "specious" pretexts.
From the news articles and reports passing in the media over the past 3 months from the Baltic states, Poland and other countries, it is clear that anti-Russian sentiment is actively being pumped up there, there are reasons to do this starting from the events in Crimea and the Donbas, ending the embargo on the delivery of goods from the EU to Russia .

Thus, by the spring of 2015, a serious grouping of NATO forces will be located in Eastern Europe, and besides, training centers that prepare soldiers of the national armed forces for military operations in other territories will already operate in the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic states.
Exactly the same centers are probably deployed in Ukraine, which is controlled by the junta.

So it’s very rejoicing and joking about the information that is provided in this article, I don’t see the point.

[TOR2]

Based on the video with this expensive contraption, you can shoot at the T-72, which is 75 years old and has been standing in the barn for 20 years, and then shout: "We are the best." Even a not too sophisticated computer vision complex will detect this "cheeseburger" in flight. Let's add another IR channel for complete confidence. Now the on-board computer will know about the danger, and then a matter of technology and the imagination of designers. It is understood that the tank exterior and interior will have to be supplemented. But what to do, new threats - new answers.

I didn’t read the article, the name was enough. Who are they going to let this Jewelin into? If insidious Russia attacks them, then no Jewels will help them. It is clear and a hedgehog. It looks like a banal dough drank.
