> do a flip then hit

What does this mean??

I’ve been seeing some neat icons of Ss Javelin and NLAW making the rounds. Good stuff.

The clever thing about the Javelin is that it doesn't fly at a tank, but climbs vertically and comes down from above, hitting the top. So it does a flip before hitting.

The funny thing about the Javelin is that launching it looks like a dud - the first stage is basically an elaborate unboxing.
