Nope. Total failure. You know that b/c incoming fire was so quick. So target knew its under attack and for sure fired its grenades.

Incoming fire was quick. Missile for sure missed its target as target was aware of incoming attack.

I will like to see that laughter when Ivan says hello in Berlin.

@trentbyington5957 Too bad its penetration is crap through in direct mode. It would need to hit a tank in the rear to have a chance. Its not really a good weapon as it is made out to be. Remember top attack mode has been around for 30 years.

@trentbyington5957 Most modern tanks if not hit in a weak zone from the front will easily survive this. I.e. T-72BM3 or especially something like T-90M. Heck T-90M has a chance from the side as well, maybe even T-72BM3. T-90M has read ammo storage - so I would not be shocked if rear of the turret shot was also a fail. Essentially for T-90M you have very little options with direct mode. I.e. its a cheap guided RPG now, nothing more. In fact I would rather have some older AT weapons in direct mode then Javelin. A lot of older weapons, even from 70s perform better in direct mode. Javelin in direct mode would maybe penetrate T-72A from the front into say turret cheek. Maybe.

@mhazg6621 So what, they can be easily spoofed with smoke discharge. If infantry knew I bet the tank knew and immediately released grenades. Russian losses in tanks are much smaller then Ukraine's and literally 100s of thousands of missiles, including 1000s of Javelins did not do much.

@cheebacheeo5876 I said at least one made it alive.

@samuelweir5985 Sure, and what are your basis for a hit? No video of a hit! Most missiles fail to hit or fail to destroy the target. So odds are failure:95% Hit and destroy 5%. And I am being generous.

@MrReaxxionAction LOL, if that was true they would have had incoming fire before the shot ;)
