Anyone could have looked at the test results for Javelin and seen that it would be successful against modern armor.
Agreed, but most didn't. I believe it was downplayed.
ATGMs didn't play a big role in either Iraq or Afghanistan
I said they played a "decisive" role. I should have said a "key" role. The battle of Debecka Pass is one such example.
- greedo 4y agoI guess I would differ in describing it that way as well. Anything north of Baghdad on Day 18 was not a key battle at all, despite the Javelin playing a somewhat exaggerated role. Reading the wiki entry, it sounds like the ODAs were almost overrun despite the Javelin, and were saved by F-18s flying CAS.
