Russian-Ukrainian War series, Kit № 6. Javelin. The Ukrainian Anti-Tank Crew 1:35

The U.S. Javelin Anti-Tank system became one of the most striking symbols of Ukrainian resistance in the initial period of the large-scale russian attack on Ukraine. And although, with all the amazing effectiveness of this system on the battlefield, the main burden of the fight against russian tanks and other armored vehicles was on the same old soviet systems, such as RPG-7 or “Mukha”. The presence of Javelin in the arsenal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had enormous moral significance. At time when democratic countries were still considering how many hours Ukraine would last and whether it was worth spending money on supporting it at all, it was the Javelin systems, as well as the British NLAW systems, that created among the soldiers and citizens of Ukraine the feeling that we are not alone and that we are supported by the entire civilized world, it helped to create a feeling of not only moral, but also military superiority over the enemy.

The kit contains a sprue with the parts for assembling two Ukrainian Army soldiers firing from Javelin Anti-Tank system. Despite the static pose of the operator, the pose of his assistant informs about dynamism of the composition and conveys perfectly the tension and dynamics of the battle.
