B-roll video of two different iterations of Javelin Missile fires that are part of the training in Exercise Yudh Abhyas 09. The second iteration was notable by being the first Javelin missile ever fired by an Indian soldier.

$80,000/piece for those Indians.. Well worth it if they have to deal with T-series tanks from Pakistan or China.. Sick video none the less

Nifty, but the audio is edited for effect. I hate it when they do that.
Notice at :28 when the missile explodes hundreds of meters away? You hear the sound instantly. Sound doesn't travel at the speed of light. It should have taken a few seconds for the sound wave to reach the camera.

They sure have came a long way from the bow and arrows. Wouldnt it be more fitting if it was a tomahawk missile?
