Description
Paratroopers launched the Javelin at STANTA, the first time the anti-tank missile had been fired at the Norfolk ranges.
Troops from Colchester-based 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment (3 PARA), fired four of the missiles on 19th September 2013 as the culmination of training for the anti-tank platoon.
The Javelin, which was first fired by 3 PARA in Afghanistan in 2006, gives infantry units a highly accurate and potent missile to use against armoured vehicles and fortifications.
