Video of Australian Army firing Javelin ATGW

[Aussie Digger]

Hey guys, I mentioned a while back a video file I had seen of an Australian specwarops operator firing the Javelin system at an armoured vehicle. The reason I mentioned it, was the size of the explosion was similar to that of the famous/infamous "assisted" shot floating around the web and I postulated that perhaps the "famous" shot wasn't quite so assisted afterall. Here's the footage anyway. Make your own minds up...

If anyone's got any others, feel free to post them in...

Nice Video.

But if I compare it to the famous Javelin Video than I see some differences.
- The target is a tracked transporter, isn't it? The other was a tank.
- The explosion in the famous video is bigger. Especially there are more flames in the other video. This explosion looks more like the one of other ATGMs like HOT and MILAN I saw during life fire exercises.
Like in here:

- If you look at the famous video picture by picture than you can see that the explosion erupts before the missile reaches the tank.
