🇺🇸 FGM-148 Javelin
Land · Raytheon (RTX) ve Lockheed Martin (Javelin Joint Venture), 🇺🇸 ABD · 1996

Beats: 9M133 Kornet — Javelin atıcısı füzeyi gönderir göndermez kaçabilir; lazer-kılavuzlu Kornet'te nişancı hedefe kadar açıkta beklemek zorunda, Tankların tepe zırhı — tepe-saldırı dalışıyla yan/ön zırhı es geçip en ince üst panele iner, Tepki zırhı (ERA) — tandem HEAT başlığı önce reaktif bloğu, sonra ana zırhı deler
Loses to: 9M133 Kornet — düz menzilde yenik kalır; Kornet ~5,5 km vururken Javelin orijinal CLU ile ~2,5 km'de sınırlı, Spike-LR2 — uzun-menzil ve operatör 'fiber/insan-döngüde' yeniden hedef seçimi/atış-sonrası kilitleme esnekliğinde geride, Modern aktif koruma sistemleri (APS, ör. Trophy) — gelen tek füzeyi yakalayıp düşürebilir, üst-saldırı avantajını törpüler
The shooter's ability to relocate the instant the missile is launched is the real trump card delivering the highest survivability on the modern battlefield.
