Ukrainian Foreign Legion Ambushes Russian Armor with Javelin Missile

Video released by an official Ukrainian source shows alleged members of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion operating in a hunter-killer capacity taking out a piece of Russian armor with a Javelin.


At this time, we are not able to independently verify that these are members of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion, however it does seem likely. The weapon system they are using to make this kill is the FGM-148 Javelin, which is an American top-down missile system designed specifically to destroy and defeat Russian armor. The men in the video appear to be operating in a hunter-killer capacity, where they are going out ahead of friendly lines specifically looking for unsuspecting armor to destroy.


If the Russians haven't figured it out yet, their armor is next to useless when it's parked in a defensive position. Due to the way the weapon systems Ukraine has been armed with work, every parked piece of armor is a target of opportunity. This is far from the first time we've seen their armor getting shredded while it's parked with the crew outside of it, and I suspect it's far from the last time we'll see it as well.
