Ex-director of the CIA: it is time to arm the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Javelins"


“The time has come for the West to consider the possibility of providing Ukraine with weapons for protection, the American Jaavelins, short- and medium-range anti-tank missile systems”, - said Petraeus in Kiev at the meeting of YES (Yalta European Strategy).

“David Petraeus does not yet occupy official positions and does not represent the opinion of the United States. At the same time, the representative of the State Department, Victoria Nuland, who also took part in the discussion, avoided a direct answer to the question about the possible provision of weapons to Ukraine, ”the channel said.

        And they won’t get anywhere ... let's not forget about double, triple, quadruple standards.
        There is no war in Ukraine ... therefore, goodbye, but the Americans have no desire.
        It seems the Minsk agreements were signed ... and who said that the "Javelin" is a defensive weapon? It can very well be used in an offensive-hit at firing points, bunkers, pillboxes, houses, etc.

    Sooner or later "javelins" will appear in the ruin. There is a Stinger in one of our museums, so the exhibition can be replenished.
    Laughter laughter, but our guys need to be protected somehow. It is clear that no one will give the equipment installed on the "Armata" in the LPNR. This is the reality. Then the question arises, what kind of countermeasures the militia can assemble on their knees using the means at hand. As I read that on the territory of the LPR there was a storage base for old aviation equipment. Probably many people remember on MI-24 there was such an interesting thing, SOEP-V1A optical-electronic jamming station ("Lipa"). This tricky thing created a pulse stream of continuously moving infrared rays around the helicopter, causing the rocket tracking system to swing. Unfortunately, she had a "dead zone" and she could not protect the board 100%. There will be no "dead zone" on the tank.
    Let's analyze one more point. The net is full of videos with "Javelins" attacking the tank from the top. Take a look at the picture. The rocket is marked with an arrow. If the control was carried out only through the IR channel, then the rocket would hit the engine. With a high degree of probability, for an accurate hit in the tower, the rocket reads the tank's electromagnetic field.
    1. +1
      14 September 2015 12: 30
      What the electromagnetic field looks like at the tank is shown in the figure. If additional aiming is carried out in this way, then with the help of emitters we distort the field of the tank. For example, let's draw a "tower" behind the tank or on the side. If the aiming is carried out in a different way (the autopsy should show) then we simply prevent the rocket from scanning the tank. As I already wrote in similar topics, is there enough on-board power for these devices.

    It’s time, it’s time. For the stinger obtained by blood and then they promised the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union, and Javelin fat lovers themselves will sell for bucks.

    I remembered the joke:
    The "brother" came to hunt a bear. Jeep - hummer, camouflage, super fancy assault rifle with night vision telescopic sight ...
    He enters the forest, a man in bast shoes comes out to meet him, a typical village peasant in earflaps and quilted jackets.
    Man:
    “Oh dear man, where are you going?”
    "Brother":
    - To the bear!
    Man:
    - Yes, this is an ungrateful occupation ... Bear - OWNER! My grandfather walked with a horn, father walked with a berdanka ...
    "Brother":
    - Yes, you look! Automatic - at least an elephant wali ... Optics, bullets with a solid core ...
    And goes into the forest.
    Man:
    - Yes, (pulled by shag) now it’s not worth going to the forest at all ... The bear now has not only a stag with a berdanka, but there will still be a machine gun with an optical sight ...

    And now the bear will also have Javelins ...
