That thing is only really useful against static, or near static high value targets. Against insurgents dispersed across the countryside with Javelins the weapon

That thing is only really useful against static, or near static high value targets. Against insurgents dispersed across the countryside with Javelins the weapon itself is effectively useless while the aircraft delivering it is still vulnerable.
- senko 5y agoI think the implication is it might be used against civilian population in a city.
- littlestymaar 5y ago> That thing is only really useful against static, or near static high value targets. Exactly, like the the capital of your country for instance. Noting that I'm not talking about defeating an insurgency with it, just overthrow the legitimate government and put a pro-russian dictatorship in charge. Exterminating the insurgents would then be the job of the local dictator. Obviously it's not guaranteed, but torture, kidnapping, and assassination have proven an effective mean of counter-insurgency… In real life the bad guy sometimes win…
- simonh 5y agoIm was addressing it's usefulness in the situation suggested. Yes it is useful in other situations, as I pointed out.
