In terms of total capability yes, but as an insurgent weapon the nlaw is arguably better. It's much smaller and lighter and deploys faster while being cheaper.

In terms of total capability yes, but as an insurgent weapon the nlaw is arguably better. It's much smaller and lighter and deploys faster while being cheaper. The javelin has better performance and can target aircraft, but both kill a T-72 equally dead.
- LegitShady 5y agoNot if the t72 has era. Single charge vs tandem charge warhead. The nlaw was obsolete against tanks 40 years ago.
- robonerd 5y ago> The nlaw was obsolete against tanks 40 years ago. That's going way too far. Lots of tanks around the world still don't have ERA, and ERA doesn't make tanks impervious anyway. You can put a lot of ERA panels on a T-72 but there will always be gaps.
- LegitShady 5y agofrom the front there's more ERA than there are gaps by a large margin. You're not likely to destroy a tank with one, and it can shoot back at you. When equipping someone with weapon for a life and death fight, betting on a weapon unlikely to work because 'there are gaps' is not a winning strategy.
