The world's premier shoulder-fired anti-armor system, Javelin takes the fight to the enemy. Javelin automatically guides itself to the target after launch, allowing the gunner to take cover and avoid counterfire. Soldiers or Marines can reposition immediately after firing, or reload to engage another threat.
Using an arched top-attack profile, Javelin climbs above its target for improved visibility and then strikes where the armor is weakest. To fire, the gunner places a cursor over the selected target. The Javelin command launch unit then sends a lock-on-before-launch signal to the missile. With its soft launch design, Javelin can be safely fired from inside buildings or bunkers.
Javelin was developed and produced for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps by the Javelin Joint Venture between Lockheed Martin in Orlando, Florida and Raytheon in Tucson, Arizona.
The Javelin missile system is a man-portable anti-tank guided missile. It can be fired from the shoulder or mounted on vehicles and is known for its fire-and-forget technology, allowing operators to take cover after firing
I am VERY familiar with that weapons platform. As I understand it, The US versions can be remote aborted. There is supposedly a superdyduper secret chipset imbedded in the guidance controls that can be activated to cause the missle to turf out either in the launchtube or in flight
Funny side story … I accidentally “activated” a missile during a practice exercise. Had to abort from the firing position. Once the system goes hot, the battery on the launch tube feeds another battery that powers up the missile. Once it goes hot, thats it, no shutting off the power up. It cost $8000 to replace the battery on the tube. I was sweating bullets for a week while they decided if they were gonna make me pay for it. They didnt … THANK GOD. 😂😂😂. I got my ass reamed round-robin style. It felt like every Sergeant Major and Field grade officer in a 5 mile radius lined up to take a chunk out of my ass.
EXACTLY. I did 6 FLIPL investigations when I was with Accessions Command in 2016-2017.
I always tried to find 'no fault' for the soldiers. But once or twice ... all the empathy on the planet wouldn't help those retards. Most are honest mistakes, but sometimes soldiers just do mind numbingly stupid shit.
I've long said this about the Javelin missile systems for like a year. If they (Cartels) use one, they know they will be 100% fucked hard because we will go into Mexico and destroy them. Trump will unleash hell like they've never seen. But the fact they have them, there's the possibility they will fire them into the US which is very troubling.
If that is the Brit Javelin as used in the Falklands there is not much to worry about, they are not very good at all, I believe their percentage of success was in low double figures.
It's not surprising to hear about this? The Cartels have been operating terror training camps in Mexico for quite some time so it stands to reason they would be arming themselves as well?
Now that the Cartels have been officially designated as terrorists, don't be surprised to learn that operations are being conducted to capture or destroy these caches. I would prefer them to be destroyed, no telling what has been done to the weapon systems that could make them potentially unusable.
Satellite recon with pinpoint cruise missile strikes with designated special forces "mop up" units to "sanitize" site after missile impacts......
If the cartels ever fire any Javelins toward the border patrol, Trump will go scorched earth on the cartels.
As long as he also goes scorched earth on the people we know who sold these military weapons systems to drug cartels.
He should also do scorched Earth on the "Middlemen" who rerouted the USA weapons and profited.
First and foremost!!
Like we need another reason to scorch
They've already fired on our people maybe we need some praying mantis style proportional response .
Me thinks a fleet of A-10’s would take care of that problem in about 10 minutes, maybe less.

Nice. Upvote for superdyduper.
The military can’t force you to pay for something, it’s federal law.
Get a CLU
You might want to look up with FLIPL is and then get a clue yourself.

Federal law... i mean shit I wish there were a federal law that didn't make us pay for it.
LOL ... WHAT??!?!?
The fuck they cant! It's called a "Statement of Charges". That shit happens ALL THE TIME.
You know what tho ... upvote for CLU 😂😂😂. I see what you did there.

That little Ukrainian despot, Zelensky!
If that is the Brit Javelin as used in the Falklands there is not much to worry about, they are not very good at all, I believe their percentage of success was in low double figures.
But if its the modern US Javelin?
The javelin is extremely unreliable.
We were given 8 javelin missiles in training, 2 out of the 8 fired.
TOW missiles are a little better, usually about 60% of those work.
Well we should take them back. Is this the pain zelinsky was speaking of?
Mexico is our territory, with a significant squatter problem.
It was conquered by America in 1914
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Veracruz_(1914) as compensation for a number of Military Personnel being falsely arrested by Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampico_Affair
Let's leave that one for Vance. Trump has a lot on his plate with Greenland, Panama & Canada.
And Gaza, of course.
But I thought Vance was going to take Ireland and other parts of Western Europe?
Those places clearly need to be conquered first; but not only those places.
Oh Gaza too of course & maybe a few more but maybe leave Europe & Mexico for Vance to ride on Trump's momentum...
Yup. I doubt it'll stop at Gaza, mind, probably spreading into Israel, Egypt, and maybe Lebanon too.
Musk has talked a lot about Britain and Germany, so he's probably getting those; and I imagine he'll bring South Africa back in line.
No-one's talked about what to do with Australia, New Zealand, or most of Western Europe yet, so watch this space.

Obama's fast and furious never stopped.
Please tell me there's a secret way to disable these that only US Mil knows about.
Depending on the circumstances, They can be disabled. Think Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). It's what they do.
No, even if they could disable them, they don’t know which serial numbers and lot numbers they are.
We should have arrestedElenskyy
Go ahead I double dog dare you
Hi. Air Force. I’d like to order some Predator drones please. Maybe a side of Hellfires.
