Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapons are secured before an Anti-Armor live-fire weapons range in Balti, Moldova, Dec. 12. SMAW's look simple but once loaded and aiming at a target behind the trained hands of a Moldovan or U.S. Marine, they become an armored vehicles worst nightmare. The Marines and Moldovans built a mutual understanding of firing procedures and characteristics on advanced anti-armor weapons systems, including: Moldova’s Rocket Propelled Grenade system and 70mm Recoiless Rifle (SPG), and America’s FGM-148 Javelin man-portable anti-tank missile, AT-4 Anti-Tank Weapon, and the Shoulder-launched Multipupose Assault Weapon, Dec. 8-12.
