Which missile launcher is the Medium Antitank Missile Launcher (Javelin)?

• A. Light Antitank Rocket Launcher
• B. Medium Antitank Missile Launcher (Javelin)
• C. 120's Mortar Cannon (Heavy)
• D. Heavy Antitank Missile Launcher (TOW)

Answer: (B)

Recognizing the equipment by its official designation is the key. Javelin is categorized as a Medium Antitank Missile Launcher, meaning it’s an infantry-portable, guided anti-tank missile system sized and oriented for medium-range engagement. This sets it apart from a light antitank rocket launcher, which is smaller and typically unguided; a mortar cannon, which is indirect-fire artillery and not a missile launcher; and a heavy antitank missile launcher (TOW), which is larger, heavier, and used in vehicle-mounted or tripod configurations. Because Javelin fits the medium-class, missile-based anti-tank system, it is the correct identification.
