Are there any numbers on how “efficient” those are? That is, how many destroyed Russian tanks will 4000 of them cause in practice?
I’ve heard a Javelin missile is near 100% efficient if it can get a good lock. Wikipedia says “The Pentagon claimed that of the first 112 Javelins fired by the Ukrainians since the start of the war, 100 missiles had hit their target”
It’s good they hit their target.
Did they damage that target? Disable it? Destroy it?
That statistic is only the first element in the chain.
Oh yeah they work. Tbh I’d think you’d need some sort of TRPHY system to not make it a guaranteed kill when it hits. These are also way more valuable than the FSV drones as a lot of times they just disable and the crew has time to escape. Javelins are basically downward firing tank sabbots and when they hit, it melts everything inside. Depleting both material and trained personnel at the same time.
Ooh ooh, now do HARMs
