@andrewweisel438

2 жыл бұрын

My man is correct 👍 all you are, actually lol. So the chopper is not well armored, as a rule. Direct attack is the preferred mode because of the blade, but it’s because the ai in the javelin needs to maintain a good lock on the thermal profile. Top is always best on armor, because that’s thinner then the front. However, no one is making anything thick enough on land that the javelin’s payload can’t defeat 🇺🇸

Slight correction. Anti-tank rifle wz. 35 was most often equipped with cartridges that were not to penetrate the armor, but by kinetic energy to tear off its pieces on the inside, creating shrapnel that would injure or kill the crew. The whole thing was kept strictly secret, which is why the soldiers of the Polish army were usually not aware of how such a shell can be used. They fired at the enemy vehicle even five times, and this vehicle continued to move, although after the second shot, the crew was probably dead or seriously injured.

Man, this is an EXCELLENT Javelin introductory course

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

True. However, Ukraine has not banned an independent press. It hasn’t made reporting a crime. Ukrainian claims can be fact-checked, confirmed or debunked. Russia has no independently press and reporting the news, even if it’s being published outside of Russia, is a crime. It’s exceedingly difficult and risky to check Russian claims from within Russia or the territories it controls. For this reason, the Ukrainians might exaggerate the truth, but their claims generally don’t depart from it. Russian claims not so much.

No tank built can defeat the javelin in a top attack mode.

Now I'm wondering how the CV on the javelin is able to correlate the target image seen on the ground with the one its taking looking down on the target during a "Top Attack". I would think they would be significantly different. I guess it would be constantly taking new images and comparing them to the past images as it climbs into the air, but its still seriously impressive.

In addition to what others have said about the image being constantly updated (which is a really big deal), it also mentioned how the missile used infra red. So when we saw in the video that the tank is a black tank-shaped blob on a white background, it's likely that from the top the tank is also a black blob on a white background. This will make the target detection significantly easier for the computer vision algorithms used. This is just my opinion coming from an engineer who has spent a bit of time studying computer vision back in college

The NLAW anti tank weapon, developed starting year 2002 by the UK and Sweden, is a cheaper but still highly effective device. Compared to the Javelin, the NLAW has a range of only 800 meters and uses a single stage charge, but it costs 20 times less than the Javelin...

I would like to see what the "minimum arming range" and minimum necessary range for sufficient rocket speed is for the NLAW. Saw a recent video of one being fired out of a second story window down at a tank in a street. The NLAW failed, and i'm not sure if it was due to being fired too close, and the weapon not arming, not gaining sufficient speed due to short distance, or was just a bad angle that it hit the tank.

This is why videos of NLAW attacks often have a second impact/explosion (from unexpended fuel) behind the target, as the missile's remains fly past it and hit the landscape further along its trajectory. Meanwhile, Javelin's warhead faces forwards, which permits it to be used in direct-fire. To hit vulnerable roof armor, it uses a top-attack profile that lofts the missile into the air so that it can fall upon the target from above. Very different mechanism.

The NLAW has been more widely used due to its more simpler firing system, but the Javelin & NLAW are undoubtedly both game changing bits of kit. They have demonstrated how precision engineering can be used in a one time use scenario, at scale. They are demonstrations of how weapons have evolved from basic to complex, and how manufacturing cost in defence means nothing as long as the weapon works well. I think we can all agree these missiles are a thing of pure engineering marvel, and it’s almost like their use is not worthy of the engineering they have within them… like buying a Rolex and using it as a paper weight… almost! But I suppose it raises the questions if we are capable as a species of developing such efficient weaponry, can we not direct this progress into more permanent solutions I.e. climate change, green energy… The thing that is evident in this particular debate is that the age of the tank is certainly not over, but the tactic of “rolling tanks into territory” is clearly being sentenced to the history books. Fighting a western supplied army is totally different to fighting the Taliban, where arguably rolling tanks into a territory could work if the defenders were not well equipped, but I I think this is where Putin has got it totally wrong, + underestimating the power of people… you can have a great tank, but if the person driving it is not skilful/ has doubts, they are automatically weaker than a strong driven and well trained individual.

1:36 Re: The Polish anti-tank rifle. It's a bit of a disservice to not discuss a very important aspect of any projectile that pierces (or even just comes *close* to piercing) armor: spalling. Spalling is the fragmentation of the back plate of armor when a kinetic projectile pierces it (or even comes close to piercing it). Basically, parts of the armor break off into small, high velocity projectiles. And a lot of them! The projectile doesn't necessarily have to pass all the way through the armor to produce this effect, either. It's the spalling effect that made these weapons effective against tanks; they weren't dependent on "lucky shots to weak points" as the narrative in the video suggests.

The Javelin is beautifully named. The tragic beauty of human Engineering that began with a prehistoric man figuring out the physics of throwing a sharp stick. 💀☠💥

We used them against IED emplacement teams in the Iraq War. Great weapon system that really came into its own during that particular war. My platoon(Airborne Infantry) would study the recent IED attack maps and formulate an OPORDER. The vehicles would drop us(dismount rifle squad) off in 2-3 SKT’s(small kill teams). We’d infiltrate the rest of the way to the target route on foot. Our teams would spread out on a IED black route with interlocking fields of fire, enabling us to cover a lot of ground with relatively small man power. Some of these routes would have cover and/or defilade on their sides, making direct engagement with small arms difficult. Add in frequency, darkness, weather, etc. and some of these IED emplacement teams became very proficient. The Javelin and its unique capabilities changed all that. When we started targeting them with Javelins it shaped the battlefield conditions in our favor pretty rapidly. They were forced to adapt their tactics and were much less effective as a result. We started inflicting heavy losses upon them, and the IED occurrences and friendly casualties in our AO both declined precipitously. Other friendly units picked up the tactic and also employed it with great success. The Javelin and it’s unique capabilities, particularly top attack, make it the preferred weapon in a myriad of war fighting scenarios, not just in the anti-armor role it was initially designed for.

Could you share any more insights into the math behind these types of targeting/guidance systems? Have been interested in it for a while but it’s hard to find good info about it online.

Javelin missile: Another one of the "game changers" that no one is talking about any more.

I can tell from the intro this is right what I was looking for when I clicked on it

Considering u can buy 10 javalins to 1 t90 it's a bargain the "shoot and scoot" tactics are deadly effective

Also count cost of training 3-4 crew members, including officer, + munitions cost. Tanks are really expensive stuff)

Dude, there are countless Russian tanks running around with three or four Javelin hits. They are utter shit.

@@elta6241 There are also countless turrets scattered arout Ukraine remarkably missing their hull... and barrel... and crew. By the nature of HEAT jets, penetration of the armor is not the only metric that will result in a kill, if the jet from an NLAW or javelin hits too much to the sides or rear, it may simply cause superficial or non fatal damage. Especially for the NLAW which does not carry as powerful a warhead, if your crew is lucky it can survive a rocket. yet all it takes is a single good hit. You hit the fuel tanks, and you are looking at a nasty fire in the crew compartment, either resulting in a crew BBQ or a bail. And if you hit the drum auto-loader? Well, then your tank becomes a new candidate in the turret-jumping olymics whenever you want it or not.

If you're going to talk about the javelin don't show the Swedish NLAW constantly, it's a bit misinforming. And Ukrainian soldiers from the ground use the NLAW more because the Javelin is for more concealed far away tanks where as the NLAW is easy to use and very fast and can shoot at anything within 500 meters.

weaker warhead.

This video makes you seriously reconsider your answer on the "what would you buy had you won the lottery" question...

Beatiful.

The production quality on these videos is second to none! Amazing!

Former Javelin gunner, here to see how well you got it xD All the javelin gunnery demonstrations here were bad. But yea, I'm surprised you found so much info.

The best explanation i get about javelin so far. Thanks for this channel
