      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. smile

      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. laughing

      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.

        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 ?!

      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.

        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. laughing

    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.

    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.
