Javelin Missile The FGM-148 Javelin, or Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M), is an American-made man-portable anti-tank system in service since 1996 and continuously upgraded.
The Javelin missile is so sensitive it can lock onto a target even through smoke or at night, thanks to its thermal sensor. That’s why in the first months of the war, there were cases when Russian tank crews tried to hide behind smoke screens - and still got hit.
