The Estonian Foreign Ministry is looking at the possibility of buying modern air-defence and anti-tank missile systems. The ministry is most interested in the American Javelin anti-tank system. Together, the anti-tank and air-defence missile systems would cost around USD 50 million. Lithuania was the first Baltic state to buy the Javelin anti-tank system, purchasing 18 launch systems and 75 missiles for USD 10 million. The Lithuanian government is also holding secret talks on buying Stinger missiles. According to military experts, the anti-tank system allows the firer to leave the firing position immediately after launch, because the missile can independently find its target up to a range of 2.5 kilometres. The missile strikes the armoured personel carrier or tank at its weakest point - at the side of its upper hatch. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
