FGM-148 Javelin firing Missile components Javelin missile launch. The Javelin missile's tandem warhead is a high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) type. [11] This round utilizes an explosive shaped charge to create a stream of superplastically deformed metal, formed from trumpet-shaped metallic liners. The result is a narrow high velocity particle ...
Light, oriental horses such as the ancestors of the modern Arabian, Barb, and Akhal-Teke were used for warfare that required speed, endurance, and agility. [16] Such horses ranged from about 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm) to just under 15 hands (60 inches, 152 cm), weighing approximately 360 to 450 kilograms (800 to 1,000 lb). [17]
This version entered service in 1984, and was later known as Javelin GL. Further upgrades to the missile added a fully automatic guidance system to produce the Javelin S-15. This was sold commercially, and is better known, as the Starburst surface-to-air missile. These began to replace the GL in British Army service in 1993, although the GL ...

A missile weighing 26 lb carrying almost the same sized warhead as a 108 lb Hellfire (9kg warhead) over 4.75km. The warhead making up over 70% of the missile's weight. A TOW, for reference, weighs 22kg and has a 3.9-5.9kg warhead. A Kornet weighs 27kg and has a 7kg warhead. Either the warhead weight or the missile weight must be wrong.

There are four small aerodynamic control surfaces, also in a cruciform pattern ...
The basic Javelin missile body was retained in the upgraded Javelin S15, which replaced the original's radio command guidance system with a semi-automatic laser system. This uses a laser in the launcher to "paint" the target, and a seeker in the missile nose cone sees the reflected signal and homes in on it. This renders it largely immune to ...
