Cell phone footage recorded in the spring of 2023 shows a Ukrainian Soldier climbing a tree to get a better angle on a piece of Russian armor. He then fires a singular FGM-148 Javelin missile.

Its impossible to tell from this footage what the target was, or if the target was destroyed or disabled by the missile. This is certainly however a testament to the versatility of this weapon system when compared to other conventional anti-tank guided missile systems and lends credence to the fire and forget methodology.
