I would not want to be on the receiving it end of a Javelin missile.

But that’s just me.

Now I wish I had a whole collection of 360 and 401 AMC Javelins.

But that’s just me

The Palestinians blew up the one factory in the world that was still making the consumable external oil pumps the AMC V8s require to continue running. :P

Replacement operations since have been very sporadic.

As for the missiles, these tanks have APS systems that can shoot down Javelins - neutral combat experience around the world versus the Russian Arena system indicates that you need saturation attacks, preferably with heavy ATGM (which the Jav isn’t), in order to defeat Arena well enough to get a hit. The Chechens found that they had to use six or more heavy ATGM simultaneously on average to get a decent chance of one hit.

Were those motors 100% AMC or did they have Chevy blocks with AMC heads?
