more of a GP demo tool in my opinion hardly a true AT. That's why we never adopted it before. much more useful to blow up hardpoints we still need the javelin |

Do we not say soldier any more? It's all "warfighters?" |

That's why we never adopted it before. much more useful to blow up hardpoints we still need the javelin We were just getting training on the AT-4 when I was getting off active duty in early '90. We had the M-47 Dragon MAW, but we were really not too happy with that for a Squad man-packed AT weapon. Along with the M-72 LAW. Of course we had TOWs mounted on M151 Jeeps the on HMMWVs. As well on APCs, i.e. M901 ITVs. But I certainly think the Javelin would have been a great improvement over the M-47 MAW, AFAIK. But I also heard the M72 was still around. And I was under the impression the Javelin would still be used along with this new version of the Carl Gustaf, M3E1 AT weapon. What did your Infantry Squads, etc., carry ? Just interested in this information after I had ETS'd … |
