I wonder if this specific missile was damaged beforehand. Javelins are pretty good kit.

CLU is like $250k by itself, missile is like $220k. And prolly like $200k of that missile price is what’s visible on the nose before the first hammer tap. Arri Alexa’s dream of growing up to be that camera lol.
