French SOF Misses ISIS SVBIED With Milan ATGM, But Obliterates It With Javelin
Published 3 years ago
Footage from around 2016 shows French special operations troops successfully destroying a rapidly charging Islamic State suicide vehicle borne improvised explosive device (SVBIED) with an FGM-148 Javelin missile.
Initially, the SOF team attempts to neutralize the threat with a Milan anti tank guided missile, but they miss their mark. Luckily, another weapon system was on standby as a failsafe, and the Javelin missile can be briefly seen coming straight down onto its target, resulting in a massive blast when the truck bomb is detonated.
