Kosovo has received the request from the United States of America (USA) for the purchase of anti-tank Javelin, and 246 such will cost about 75 million dollars. But the Javelin dates back a long time as a weapon, but not at all in the form and style it exists today.
"Javelin", from the English language "spear", was once known in the primitive Egyptian armies, it was considered a strong weapon in fighting enemies.
It was nearly 2 meters long and weighed enough to hold with one hand. Its tip was so sharp that when thrown quickly, it caused death.
The spear, known as the Javelin, was also used for defense when the opponent approached the soldier's body, History wrote.
The blades of such spears were made of metal, in order to become as penetrating as possible into the body of the enemy.
