The idea was to pre-detonate the javelin so it would not penetrate to turret top armor, like an RPG cage on a Stryker, but it doesn't seem to have been well tested.

in theory it prematurely initiates the warhead which with a single shaped charge like a standard RPG HEAT round can be effective, but AFAIK the Jav has two HEAT type warheads to deal with this very issue as well as reactive armor.

I doubt that the first warhead in a javelin will blow the armor aside but if the first charge goes the second goes and an extra meter of stand-off isn’t saving Ivan. Would help against an RPG-7 I bet.

Yeah no joke. Was trying to figure out if they were Russian or Ukrainian, since they do not appear to be carrying AKs, I was thinking Ukrainian? But the pattern is similar to the Russian Klyaksa pattern (below) but more pronounced.  Russian Tactic-9 pattern, less so. Does not look like typical Ukrainian winter pattern to me.



Russian Klyaksa pattern

Ukrainian Winter pattern


Looks more like this Russian "Blot" commercial pattern? But why the non AK rifles? Spetnatz?
It's a mystery.

Over a week ago I recall seeing the video footage of those guys moving down that road and they were being followed by well over a dozen media people less than 100 yds away filming and taking pics, is that not in this thread? If not I don't recall where I saw it.   Seemed like a staged training OP or some other orchestrated media effort.
