The war between Ukraine and Russia has entered its tenth day. Zelensky's underrated army has been giving Putin a tough fight from day one. There are frequent claims from Ukraine that it has destroyed hundreds of Russian armored vehicles and tanks. Even though this claim is difficult to believe, but the ability of the US Javelin missile in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers has to be trusted. On the basis of this Javelin missile, the Ukrainian army is destroying Russian artillery, and is also destroying their aircraft. In such a situation, it is very important to know about the characteristics of this missile, which has troubled Russia and has kept Kyiv away from its possession till now.

93 percent firepower

American journalist Jack Murphy, quoting a US official, has claimed that Ukrainian soldiers have US-supplied anti-tank missile Javelin. This missile is capable of hitting Russian tanks and armored vehicles. Jack Murphy claims that Ukraine has so far destroyed 280 Russian armored vehicles on the basis of this missile. Whereas, he has fired only 300 from these anti-tank missiles. That is, this missile works with 93 percent firepower.

Targets the weakest place

The Javelin missile, jointly developed by Rathom Missiles & Defense and Lockheed Martin, always hits the target from above. Indeed, any tank or armored vehicle is stronger on both sides. Instead, its upper part is weak. The missile has been designed with the same technology that it attacks by targeting the weakest part of the tank. It can also be fired directly if needed.
