Look just cause you can allegedly use a javelin against slow flying helicopters in an emergency does not make it a MANPADS. lol. It’s an ATGM.
Also misspelling it MANPATS implies that you meant man portable air tank system which also makes no sense.
Edit: I’ve learned to my horror that MAPATS is actually a thing. I say no, no more acronyms ATGM was fine.
Javelin is just a wickedly effective system. Is this new footage? We haven’t seen many Javelins recently and I was beginning to think supplies had dried up.
You are the first person I’ve ever heard us MANPAT and I hate you for it. Even Lockheed and Martin don’t call their system that.
