I guess I am susceptible to US news media but the Javelin is having success does Russia have a fire and forget missile similar to the Javelin?
Well then i guess you read that article in the early days of the operation that was widely spread in Western media, where an anonymous US Special Forces Officer monitoring the entire battlefield on the ground stated that out of 300 Javelin missiles fired, 280 knocked out their target.
Obviously we have seen no proof other than a handfull of videos showing the launching of Javelins by what we can assume are Ukranian (or affiliated) troops, but no aftermath footage (save for maybe a few). You would think that from those 280 salvos at least a few where caught on tape in full, or otherwise properly documented?
In the meantime the US has come out and litteraly stated that most of the "intel" it presents from the ground is overexagerated, based on poor info or even simply made up entirely, for the sole purpose of "messing with the Russians".
Apply some critical thinking and draw your own conclusion.
