⚔️ Which is better, "Stugna" or "Javelin"?

Of course, "Javelin" is a modern technological weapon, which has already proven itself very well during a full-scale war and has shown unparalleled results, but the "Stugna" ATGM has its own advantages, the anti-tankers of the 47th separate mechanized brigade explain .

The first is the time of preparation for the shot, it happens almost instantly and imperceptibly, the enemy will definitely not pass.

Preservation of life is the next advantage of our "Stugna", all work is carried out from cover and remotely from observation and to defeating the target, so during work our soldiers work more concentrated.

The firing range of "Stugna" is also superior to "Javelin", which allows you to cover a larger area, which can be watched by an anti-tank gun.

In a docu some weeks ago some Ukranians tank hunter team explained they both have their niche. The stigma allows the operator to stay out of harm's way so it is favored in higher risk situations, while if they can get into position with a javelin the kill rate is higher and they can kill larger targets. They also used an AT mine dropping baba yaga for night operations when the Russians where encamped.
