Why Every Military Needs the Javelin Missile Launcher
This is an informative video about the FMG-148 Javelin top attack missile system. I'm your average infantryman Chris Cappy here to examine my top favorite Infrared Guided Anti-Tank Missile and 11th favorite Olympic sport, the Javelin. The FGM-148 Javelin for those of you who don’t know is America’s predominant man portable guided anti-tank weapon. It uses infrared tracking in order to guide itself to the target, making it not only easy to use, but highly effective and accurate against enemy armored threats.

So what kind of DARPA space magic makes this thing work? How is it used on a Modern Battlefield? What are the pros and cons of using it vs. something like an AT4 or Carl Gustav? And why didn’t my squad leader ever let me play with one?
Prototype development began for the Javelin launcher in 1989. But you’re probably thinking, when was the last time the US military faced off against a column of enemy tanks, what have all these soldiers been firing $100K dollar missiles at the sides of mountains? And that's not far from the case.
