The Javelin comes in from above, it doesn't matter if it is an M1A2 or a Male tank from WW1, either way it's going to kill the tank.

IIRC, after deep discussion of that movie, wasn't it decided that tank was full of fuel or something else that would've made it explode with that intensity? Cool nonetheless.

Im not sure, I know some guy though that actually helped with the project. Im not sure what he did I just know he helped with it lol.

Tank was packed with explosives, and explicitly for the purpose of making that video. A real anti tank weapon would do absolutely nothing of the sort.

No, but it would at a minimum score a mobility kill. That's the really nasty thing about Javs, they go for the engine top plating.

The Australian military has bought about 600 Javelin missiles, can't remember the number of launchers, I think it was about 90. I'm surprised our government bought a (from what I've read) a reasonable anti-tank weapon, considering how efficient they (both parties) have been at wasting money in worthless projects.
