Watch the Javelin ATGM melt the armor of a Russian T-80BVM tank
Imagine the power of anti-tank weapons such as the Javelin, NLAW, AT4, and more. These formidable tools have been the bane of Putin’s armored forces in the heart of Ukraine.
Thanks to NATO and a host of Ukraine’s steadfast supporters, thousands of these mighty weapons have been deployed. Their mission?

According to an update by the Ukraine Weapons Tracker, this chilling spectacle was the handiwork of the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade. They successfully decommissioned the Russian T-80BVM tank with a precise FGM-148 Javelin ATGM strike in #Donetsk Oblast.
