  1. The Javelin entered service in the 1980s.

  2. All of them would have to miss critical components. From a purely statistical change, working Javelins without any duds missing the engine/fuel/ammo/crew 5 times in a row would be like getting tails 5 times in a row when tossing a coin. It can happen, but it's a freak occurrence. The only person I've heard so far saying that was Scott Ritter, and he's a kid diddler, so...

  3.  @tristanbackup2536  Uh, okay? They still work the same, they fly up, come down, explode on top. It's impossible to armor the top of the tank against a large tandem warhead so it doesn't matter if the current warhead can penetrate 15% more than older ones could. And T-72s have been upgraded too, the T-72B3M standard or whatever is from 2016. Also, first in first out. The old stock gets sent first. So Ukrainians are probably firing Javs from the 1990s and 2000s while the US keeps the modern ones in their own inventory.

  4. "Americas track record of "air combat", killing 800,000 civilians in less than a year" - Please stop lying. You're lying about civilian deaths by a factor of 100. You're taking the number of people killed in sectarian violence and Al Qaeda terrorism and claiming they were killed by American bombs.

  5.  @TheArcticFoxxo  There more things I disagree with but of course that I'm going to single out the part that's an outright false accusation.

  6.  @TheArcticFoxxo  You claimed almost a million dead from American air strikes.

  7. I've seen one video where the vehicle "survives" but starts cooking, and another where the missile strikes before arming distance and burns down. Afterwards a crew member being interviewed stated they had to be given a new tank to keep fighting even though the damage was just the rocket motor burning on top of the turret.

  8. The Ronson thing is a myth. The fires stopped when the ammunition storage was changed, and the Sherman became one of the best WW2 tanks in terms of crew survivability.

  9. Air superiority just means the air force can conduct operations with minimal opposition from the defending air forces. It doesn't mean total and absolute control of the air.

  10.  @skoll_2024  Except for very lopsided combat, things are always going to randomly fall from the sky. A country can have air superiority and still allow for daring incursions, cruise missiles or long range artillery to fall. Look at the helicopter raid on Belgorod. As long as the planning and timing is right, you can have the air superiority and air assets can still manage to fly through the gaps. You can be merc'd by air assets without your own air force being able to do a thing about it because superiority doesn't imply omnipresence.

  11. Infantrymen have carried weapons that could destroy tanks since WWI.

  12. Literal schizo theory. Who the hell is out rioting while cruise missiles fall from the sky?

  13.  @stefantheconqueror8710  Where are these videos of multiple hits?
    1
  14.  @stefantheconqueror8710  None of those hits look like Javelin hits. Hit number two detracked the vehicle on the left side. Third hit penetrated, smoke comes out of the hatch and muzzle of the gun. Those look like RPG-7, RPG-22, LAW, AT4, etc hits coming from the side. "Small" warheads with no tandem charges. Only one crew member seems to have survived, and the tank is not "functional" at all. It got detracked and the smoke from the muzzle seems to imply damage inside the turret. Second hit rendered it immobile and third hit most likely made it unable to fire. We went from "tank survives 5 Javelin hits and remains functional and crew is alive" to "cheap disposable rockets made tank immobile on the second hit, unable to fire on the third hit and 2/3rds of the crew is dead".
