Javelin Top-Down Strike On Russian Tank Recorded In Thermal
Published 1 years ago
Footage recorded by a Ukrainian drone's thermal camera captures an incident in which a Russian tank is hit and destroyed by an FGM-148 "Javelin" missile indicated by its infamous top-down attack method.
Interestingly, the missile's thermal signature can be seen throughout its flight to the target. The missile was designed to strike from the top where the vehicle's armor is the weakest.
