Motivele pentru care Polonia a cumparat Javelin desi avea in inventar (si in coproductie) Spike incep sa se clarifice.
Se pare ca technicistii au avut dreptate, fiind vorba de usurinta cu care pot fi antrenati militarii in folosirea Javelin in comparatie cu complexitatea (relativa) a Spike.

We reported recently there were two letters of request from Poland to the U.S. to purchase Javelin man-portable anti-tank systems, and also C-130 transport aircraft. How does that fit into the current concept of operations?

The Javelins, because there’s still a lack of enough anti-tank equipment, when you consider credible numbers of Russian tanks. We still have Spikes [an Israeli fire-and-forget anti-tank and anti-personnel missile], which are very effective, but they are much more sophisticated, and it requires simulators, training. For a big army, internal defense or short training, you need fire-and-forget, so the Javelins will be balancing and filling the gap into [short] range systems, for special forces and internal defense.

Spike e fara indoiala mai flexibila insa ar necesita si o pregatire mai buna a operatorilor, lucru perfect compatibil cu doctrina israeliana care e la originea cerintelor pe baza carora a fost proiectata Spike. Polonezii par sa fi realizat ca respectiva doctrina nu se potriveste si pentru fortele lor teritoriale. Pentru ca s’il vous plait, monsieur. Si ei totusi investesc ceva mai multe fonduri per pereche de bocanci instruiti in comparatie cu Ro.
