U.S. Congress pre-sells 2's Javelin launchers to Ukraine

October 2 2019

US congressmen approve with approval of continued lethal shipments weapons Ukraine. The so-called preliminary consent for the delivery to Kiev of the next batch of Javelin anti-tank missile systems comes from Congress.

U.S. Congress pre-sells 2's Javelin launchers to Ukraine

According to recent reports, the cost of such deliveries will be about 39 million dollars. For this amount, Ukraine can get two launchers Javelin and 150 anti-tank missiles for them. At the same time, Washington is still deciding what to do with the choice of the “storage location” for these ATGMs if they are delivered to Ukraine.

Recall that earlier Ukraine immediately violated these obligations (if these obligations were originally plausible) regarding the storage of Javelin at a military base in the Lviv region under the supervision of American instructors. Missile systems a few weeks after delivery from the United States were in the Donbass, where the APU, as stated, conducted exercises.

In Ukraine itself, representatives of the local political elites took news Congressional decision is ambiguous. In particular, the opinion was voiced that the willingness to sell a couple of "Javelins" demonstrates "only the appearance of support." It is also added that the preliminary approval of the transaction by Congress took place against the background of the signing of the "Steinmeier formula", which involves the withdrawal of forces and assets from the contact line.

One of the noteworthy comments in the Ukrainian blogosphere:

Two Javelin! Are you seriously?

Two anti-tank systems will solve all the problems of the ruins. These are SUCH installations, and there such Problems.

  Two installations - this is so, purely arbitrary, the basis of the transaction is 150 missiles.

    The headline was made to neigh, and then less than half the audience reads the headline. And 150 missiles, from which not a single tank and not a single LDNR infantry fighting vehicle has protection (we will not mention ours), you really will laugh.

        If you remove the pan, it will become clear that 37 PU was purchased by 2, and 210 Missiles by 150. The news is about it.
        As for guarantees, they are not in the war. But there is TTX and common sense (a person who has fired at a tank from a kilometer in time will have time to hide in the bushes / dugout, or at the time of launch he will be covered by the Grad volley).
        Every Georgia, Estonia and others have PU accounts for hundreds. The defense industry needs nasal blood to think of something to counteract, and not rely on pan confidence.

        150 missiles ... if at least 10 of them detonate, then you can not write anything further. one accurate shot from a mortar and "grafted cotton", the mattress toppers immediately sensed that they could sell a couple of missiles and launchers to the militias. each has its own price, and ukrovoyak have several. and the price tags are hanging. one might think they will only fight with javelins. Javelin hits at 2-2,5 km, no longer pulls, and these 2,5 km still need to be approached. in general, the devil is not so terrible as he is painted. the mattresses of course will lower all the dogs and will nourish and train, supply, etc. .but the mattress is far away ... when they have to choose to die or run, they will all run. money will not help the dead, and they understand this very well.

        Bro, are you even in our universe? Or in parallel?
        
        Is it possible to get to enemy positions at 2 km in Donbas, especially during active databases?
        About raids (mutual) DRGs on the rear did not read in every second report?
        Well, what am I talking about, they’ll detonate everything in the warehouse.
        PS why do we need to buy a pair of PU? The militia (they did not report this to their credit) took KAMAZ, which drove the Javedins from Kharkov to 2014, exactly before they took prisoners into the DAP 200.

Well, the fact that Ukraine is a good testing ground for weapons. they are trying to identify the weaknesses of their complex, and not because they want to help Ukrainians and Ukraine as a whole. and even if they have a count on their head, they’ll get two more of their own ...

        no, not better. but in some ways they are similar. and here and there they check weapons, and test how their missiles deal with tanks from the USSR. and our people are dying ... it’s clear that if the situation worsens, then the Russians will sit back, find an antidote or develop tactics, but until all this happens, these jackals will have time for people to drink blood over. it’s not a pity that someone else’s hands, but I don’t want to lose my people. reconnaissance should get the exact coordinates if the javelins get to the cutting edge.

        As far as I understand, the Javelins planned to transfer to Ukraine for safekeeping (to give an expensive toy to hold) and one of the conditions of the Americans was that the Javas did not appear in the DB zone. Precisely because Ukraine was honored only for irresponsible "storage" - they decided not to give ... a grenade.
        Everything else is just the wet dreams of Ukrainian javelin fetishists.

According to recent reports, the cost of such supplies will be about $ 39 million.
For this amount, Ukraine can get two Javelin launchers and 150 anti-tank missiles for them.

In response to this, Russia needs to fit LDNR modern Russian tanks, for which this Amerikosovsky jamelin is not a threat! Why is it possible for America to openly help dill, and Russia only secretly, in vain disguise itself? Isn’t it time to openly declare our interests in this conflict? America is not shy

  What for? Saturate the advanced thermal imagers and NVDs of the latest generation (without backlighting), add RMBs and snipers to them .., in fact, replace BMPTs .. Normal ATGMs with a range of up to 3-4 km will be safe, but they are impeccable ...

American congressmen approved with approval a document on continuing the supply of “lethal” weapons to Ukraine.

But does the congress of mericatosia not coordinate its actions with the senate?

Is it that the sale of two PUs was discussed at a meeting between Zeli and Trump? Is the level too high for such a purchase?

The commentators for this article are laughing ... Bad "laugh" - the Ukrainian Armed Forces are gradually arming themselves (recently 6 (six) Turkish UAVs were bought). ATGM Javelin is no laughing matter, no one laughed at the supply of Stingers to Afghanistan in the 80s. The fact that Javelins will be "stored" in Poland is nothing "funny". At the "right moment" they will appear in the "right place" and not "ATOs" will "work" with them, but "little green men" from the USA

260 thousand dollars for each rocket + 2 launchers.
Fine. True, according to Western sources.
Bloomberg citing three anonymous sources.
According to the publication, the US Department of State approved, and Congress has unofficially signed a contract to sell weapons.
One of the sources of the publication said that they could officially announce the sale of 150 anti-tank systems and two additional tank installations in the near future.
Bloomberg said that this agreement is not part of the military assistance for Ukraine in the amount of 250 million, which Congress approved earlier.
Ukraine requested weapons as early as last summer. In 2018, the United States provided Ukraine with more than 200 missiles and 37 launchers.
Earlier, former US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Walker said that the United States is ready to increase arms supplies to Ukraine to make its naval and air forces more powerful.
Recall that the United States provided Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missile systems free of charge.

150 missiles ... if at least 10 of them detonate.

Do you think javelin shots are transported in trucks in bulk in a pile of no less than 10 pieces?

Quote: parkello
.Javelin hits 2-2,5 km, no longer pulls, but 2,5 km still need to be approached

The standard range of direct visibility is 600-800 meters, more rarely the terrain allows in the western part .. gm .. of the Soviet Union ..)
