Javelin Missiles Ukrainians Destroy Russian Hundreds Tanks in Fight while Against Russia

Russia-Ukraine war: The missiles have been named Javelin because they take the path of the spears thrown in track and field events to attack the enemy. As Russian military move towards Ukrainian capital Kyiv, the US-made Javelin anti-tank missiles are in the spotlight. These weapons are giving the numerically inferior Ukrainian army a chance to wreak havoc on their attackers.

The lightweight but weapon has allowed the soldiers in Ukraine to inflict some serious damage to Russian tanks and artillery, military experts have said. American journalist Jack Murphy who has been tracking the war in Ukraine said earlier this month that the Javelin missiles have a rate of 93 per cent.

The anti-tank missile has been developed by defence contractors Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. According to latter's website, the missile automatically guides itself to the target after launch (fire and forget system), allowing the gunner to take cover and avoid counterfire, or load a new missile
