The Armed Forces began to disassemble Javelin to spare parts: in Defense Express explained why (video)

The Armed Forces fighters are forced to disassemble the American portable anti -tank missile complex Javelin. This is done for the sake of the battle part for the FPV-pins. About it writes Defense Express. The publication writes that the FGM-148 Javelin Anti-Tank Missile was dismantled to get the combat part and equip it with FPV-Dron.

First, they did this in the Fatum unit of the anti-tank battalion of the 3rd assault brigade, however, they immediately explained that with common sense, no one will change the Javelin high-precision missile for FPV-Dron. "The rocket had damage, so its further regular use is impossible," Fatum said. Due to the fact that the rocket was inadvertent, it was decided to remove the combat part with it, which contains two cumulative combat units with a total weight of 8. 4 kg.

Defense Express added that someone may have the idea of ​​using Javelin's thermal imaging head, but it is of no value because it has only 64 × 64 pixels resolution and requires cooling for which a variable power supply and cooling with argon are used. "In any case, the situation when a non-working missile from the PTRC should be disassembled for the sake of the combat unit, of course it cannot be considered ordinary.
