I did a Color Guard at Raytheon (the company that produced the Javelin) last year for their celebration of the weapon system's performance in combat, and some of the accounts of this performance were read, including one where a light platoon sized element held a pass (I believe it was the Baca Pass, I've been trying to find the papers, but no love yet) against an Iraqi armored column with the Javelin being their heaviest weapon system, and Humvees their most armored vehicle. They destroyed 18 enemy vehicles with 19 missiles, but that was with two missiles hitting one vehicle simultaneously.
And welcome to the forum, Ben.
