Wow! I do not consider myself to be any sort of a guided anti-tank missile expert but (feel free to clarify this) - would the missile even be armed at this point? Although I must say, armed or not - I would totally s@#t my pants while dropping the camera and running away (much like that guy did).Comment

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure the design is such that it shouldn't be armed. However, given that it's also designed to fly much further than one meter, I wouldn't trust minimum arming distance and would high tail it as well!Originally posted by Walking Dead View Post"So little pains do the vulgar take in the investigation of truth, accepting readily the first story that comes to hand."

It becomes armed after 50 meters, so no it wasn't actually a danger, motor just probably fizzled. Still, I'd run faster than Jackie Joyner-Kersey, just in case.Originally posted by Walking Dead View PostIn Iran people belive pepsi stands for pay each penny save israel. -urmomma158

Wouldn't be worried about the warhead. But there is a rocket motor that may be having a "Hangfire". I don't want to be around when it decides to ignite.Last edited by Gun Grape; 09 Feb 08,, 07:15.Comment

The Javelin and Kornet are not even comparable weapons systems. Unless you consider all ATGMs to be the same.Originally posted by KORNET-E View PostIn Iran people belive pepsi stands for pay each penny save israel. -urmomma158

maybe we should just scrap the whole system
The Kornet and Javelin are different types of weapons and can't be compared
