Putin's “javelin” nightmare: Video shows a Russian tank being shot down. As efficient as the “throwing spear” is, it is very easy to use.
The Javelin weighs a manageable 11.8 kilograms, but the warhead's 8.4 kg tandem hollow charge is said to have a remarkable penetration capacity against armored vehicles of more than 60 centimeters. Moscow has foregone protection for its soldiers in the fatal assumption that the invaded neighboring country would quickly capitulate.
