It's a TOW missile. The TOW was designed to be fired from vehicles, not from a stand like in Battlefield 2. Saddam's two sons were killed in a huge firefight ending with a Humvee decimating the place they were in with a TOW missile. Humvees are usually mounted with a 50-cal machine gun, but can be mounted with just about anything from a TOW to an automatic grenade launcher.
Guys stop with your pseudo sience, a javelin is an infantry carried anti-armour weapon, so it must be a tow, or a hesh missile, but now infantry carried missile, (and it's defenitely no stinger ;P)
dumbasses that play COD say that the javelin missle can only shoot upward. It is just one function it has to eliminate targets that are surround by buildings, etc. All of this is programmable. do your research dumbass mw2 fanboys.
I LOVE THE SONG IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A ARMY MARINE CORP TRAINING VIDEO HEHE :) AND THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD SAY 'MESS WITH THE BEST DIE LIKE THE REST END OF STORY" :) :)
this is the CANCELED MGM-166 LOSAT vehicle mounted, wire guided Kinetic rocket.
Losat
Line of site Anti-Tank
It is a solid steel rocket, traveling over 5,000 FPS. It uses pure kinetic energy to damage it's targets. There are no explosives, Steel and Rocket Fuel.
"Due to the extreme hardness of the ceramics used, they offer superior resistance against a shaped charge jet and they shatter kinetic energy penetrators (KE-penetrators)"
KE penetrators are usually small, very dense and hard, made from DU. But the losat rocket is big, heavy, and soft steel. Its like a car hitting a wall, smaller cars do less damage if any than a semi at the same speed.
With all that being said.. they did cancel the program so.. lol
OK, is this a javelin or a TOW. It looks more like a TOW to me. And from what I know, the Javelin has not been adapted to be launched from the HUMVEEs. So who's the moron that made this vid?
That was a Line-of-site antitank (LOSAT) missle and believe it or not this one doesn't have a warhead, it uses kinetic energy from the extreme high speed to destroy it's target...
epic but not a javelin. Javelin is launched in hands, goes out of the tube with a small blast then rockets up with consistant blast from the rocket itself.
Thing is though a good tank crew would spot the launch, would just have about enough time to swing the turret round and kill the humvee before they get blown away by the javelin.
Shoulder mounted launches are much less easy to spot.
Unf00g has it right; this is a LOSAT. The project has since been cancelled, replaced by C-KEM (Compact - Kinetic Energy Munition), and last I checked THAT one is cancelled as well.
In regards to ELITEZxSnlpErZ; Javelin actually DOES have two modes: Plunging and Direct Attack. In most cases it's used in the Plunging/Top-Attack setting, but Direct also is available when you have targets with overhead cover or bunkers where you are aiming for the firing slits.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
javelan does NOT have 2 modes...it only flies up and back down to hit its target...the ONLY missle that can fit in one is the one desinged to go up in the air...that WAS NOT a javelin
actually the javelin does have 2 modes.. top attack and direct attack top attack being for armor and direct attack being for buildings and helicopters
wtf, americans are making sure those commie bastards arent comming back ever again !!!!! shit i would feel guilty just shooting this at an enemy tank,i can see it now the missile is fired and the russians in the tank start to laugh because they believe their tank armor can withstand any american weapon,that and they had waaaaay too much vodka before the assault,well anyways they laugh and laugh and then boooom !!!!! welcome back to 1941 bitches.
The javelin climbs up in altitude, then smashes down on the top of a tank, (where it is most vulnerable) I'm doubting that's a Javelin, unless javelins have another firing mode that i'm unaware of...
Yeah, the Javelin has another attack mode, called direct attack mode, which allows it to be shot directly (namesake) if a top attack isn't possible. But you are right, this isn't a Javelin.
Juju is incorrect. You can look up the TOW videos on the Raytheon site, and see this missile is not acting nor looking like a TOW.
Since the LOSAT has been cancelled the videos are no longer up on the lockheed site, but you can see a more complete copy of the video you posted here:
Look up: LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) for Early Entry Forces
Here on youtube. It includes the introduction, which names the missile as a LOSAT.
This is a LOSAT, not a Javelin. It was a tech demonstrator. CKEM is the real project. Kinetic kill missile, no warhead. Millimeter wave guidance. Mach 5+.
Tows are wire guided, not nearly so fast & much shorter range.
jav missiles fly up in the air really high and then come down, like a real javelin, thats where the name is from, its not a jav cuz it doesnt fly up real high and come back down, it has its own unique movement, doesn't it?

You guys, that's a LOSAT(Line Of Site Anti-Tank)missile. Not a Tow or Javalin. Losat was meant for light forces such as airborne and airmobile units. Actually a unit was assigned to the 101st airmobile division, but the military decided it didn't need it. It was meant only for low rate production. The missile uses kinetic energy instead of chemical like most atitank missiles use. It could and would destroy any tank in the world.
you fucking people dont know what you are talking about!! a javelin missile is not a goddam tow missile!! you dont even know the diff between a TOW and a missile and a purpose built anti-tank vector dependent high explosive projectile!!

Ahem... that is NOT the Javelin, the Javelin missile is a "drop-missile" that fires directly up, and then turns 180 degrees in air, and then crushes down on the target...
PS: ChuckManiac, nice to see someone who knows the difference ^_^
AHEM, dont missunderstand me! i know a little about the Javelin, and that knowledge it NOT based on videogames! (my cousin is in the Danish military) but i dont know wether it has or not a direct attack mode!! :)
Achoo, I'm just messing with you. My brother's sister's best friends former roomate is a Javelin thrower, but I thought the missile in the video was a javelin. :)
hehe, no wonder... the impact looks very familiar with Javelins, but the straight line of fire says is all. as ChuckManiac said: its the LOSAT missile :)
the javelin anti tank missile can have an direct mode or can do a top attack going, 100 meters into the air then coming down the turret, one of the weakest spot on tanks.
note: fuking missiles are useless now russia, china, america and europe are all developing ADS! (for arrogant missile fans it s

So if you insist on being ignorant, that is your problem. Not mine. Anyone who has served in the armed forces knows that is not a TOW.
