Best Answer

Anti-Tank rockets (like bazookas) or recoilless rifles that fire anti-tank High-explosive rounds could have been used in the jungles against bunkers or fortifications. But not "Anti-tank missiles". The anti-tank (guided) missiles were developed after WW2.

What caused the Kokoda Campaign?

The Kokoda Track campaign was a series of battles over a period of six months between the Japanese and the Australians. It showed the dogged determination of the Aussies. The Japanese were attempting to capture bases close to Australia in order to launch more effective air attacks on the Australian mainland . Port Moresby on the southern coast of New Guinea was in a good position to launch such attacks . The Japanese had attempted to send a fleet around the eastern end of New Guinea but were intercepted and stopped ( the Battle of the Coral Sea ) . An alternative method was to march overland from the North of New Guinea down the Kokoda track . But Australian troops were sent to stop that move . The Japanese pushed the Australians back down the track until they were actually in sight of Port Moresby . The determined resistance of the Australians the rugged terrain and ambush tactics wore down the Japanese to the point were they were almost a spent force . Also at that point in time the Americans counter offensive in the Pacific had commenced particularly at the island of Guadalcanal . The Japanese could no longer hope to continue their attack to the South and began to withdraw back along the Kokoda Track . The main significance of the fighting on the track was the delaying tactics used by the Australians had allowed time for Port moresby to be heavily reinforced and also had weakened the Japanese to the point that even if they had reached Port Moresby it is unlikely that they would have been able to capture it . From that point on the Japanese were forced to retreat in the Pacific .


Why were the Australians involved in the Kokoda war?

See the links 'Kokoda Trail - Our Most Famous Battle of WW2' and 'Battle For Australia Council' for information on Australia's involvement. An Australian battalion met a Japanese invasion force and delayed it to Kokoda village, where reinforcements took over. These reinforcements fought a delaying battle back down the Kokoda Track to Imita Ridge, where the Japanese force ran out of food and ammunition and had to beat a fighting retreat against the now heavily outnumbering Australian forces. Note the above use of 'Kododa Track' which is what Australians called it. Trail is an American word pushed in American press releases at the time, which too many Australians have accepted instead of keeping the iconic name Track which is what our soldiers called it, and they should know and be respected.


Is there a site with geographical information on the Kokoda Trail and Jungle Warfare in general?

Possibly. Use a search engine to find it. Google is perhaps the best, www.google.com. Use "Kokoda trail" as a key phrase. Then do another one using "Jungle warfare". See what comes up. Michael Montagne Try- www.burmastar.org.uk


How did the US discover the missiles?

If you are asking about the missiles in Cuba they were discovered by the use of spy planes and people on the ground. A spy plane flew over and shot pictures of the silos for the missiles. The people on the ground confirmed that they were there. Kennedy told Russia that they had to remove the missiles and the result was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
