A U.S.podcast host misrepresented a Mexican TV newscast by saying that a weapon the U.S. sent to Ukraine ended up in a Mexican cartel’s hands.
The M136 AT4 is an 84-mm unguided recoilless weapon, whereas the FGM-148 Javelin is an anti-tank guided missile .
This means that the Javelin uses a Command Launch Unit to lock onto a target before the user fires the weapon. An AT4 is purely unguided. According to , an agency for open-source defense intelligence, AT4 has a maximum range of 1,312 feet, whereas the Javelin has a maximum range of 8,202 feet.A TikTok video claimed to show a cartel member in Mexico carrying a Javelin that the U.S. sent to Ukraine.
We found no evidence that a Mexican cartel obtained U.S. weapons destined for Ukraine. Experts told PolitiFact that the man in the video is carrying what appears to be an AT4 weapon, not a Javelin.
