Everyone said drones would replace the Javelin in Ukraine, but as this video explains, the Javelin missile is still a critical weapon. Despite the high cost, its effectiveness in modern military strategy is undeniable, proving that some traditional weapons endure even with the rise of drone warfare. This news highlights the ongoing evolution of military technology in the Ukraine war.
