Now it’s clear what they can replace on May 9, right there you can WALK A WEEK ...

[Same lech]

I propose that the same pig be planted in the USA by rearmament of the countries near the USA ... Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua ... modern MANPADS and anti-tank systems will be gladly accepted there.
The United States does not understand the civil language in communicating with Russia ... everywhere they are trying to make us nasty.

This is a kind of Trump's payment for the "fordewind" of Zeloids in relation to his opponent - Biden, and at the same time to spoil Russia.

Javelin, a serious rocket, ours needs to think carefully about counteraction.

Well, for Ukraine it’s paramogue))
And what are they for Georgians? Forgot 2008?

And then the warehouse with the Javelins will burn down, but the ensign's house in Italy will not burn down.

So what? Will they be happy? "Darts" are a super-duper weapon ... but what are they for?

[Ros 56]

I don’t understand why fools need a glass object, they will break it and them anyway.

[poquello]

it was blinking normally in the fighting was still being tested

[Kerensky]

Strange is this:

the total amount of the contract is 18,4 млн. dollars

Not only for Ukraine and Georgia, but also for 14 more countries,

Prior to this, Ukraine has already received from the United States 37 launchers and 210 anti-tank guided missiles ATGM Javelin total amount 47 млн. dollars.

You can estimate ....

[Rzzz]

According to these estimates, it turns out that each of the 16 countries has a 1st pipe and 5 missiles.
Well, unless of course they did some 95% mega-discount. But the Christmas sale seems a long way off.

[Whalebone]

Already 37 pieces? There is nothing to fear with such an arsenal - the victory is obvious.
Hike Americans troll Ukrainians. You can also fit a couple of tanks and an old helicopter for reinforcement. At this point, the Poles will understand that now they are not "the strongest army in Europe."
Seriously, it’s better not to talk about such deliveries at all.

These deliveries are a political gesture. In reality, 200-300 ATGM "Stugna-P" and "Korsar" are bought in the Ukrainian Armed Forces every year. And this is much more serious. Not according to the declared performance characteristics (performance characteristics at the level of Russian analogues), but according to the number and degree of development by the troops.

[tihonmarine]

The cost of one javelin rocket is about 80 thousand US dollars.
And do you believe that you will supply javelin to the Sumerians for free?

[Aliken]

We need such a weapon that would guarantee the destruction of the one who shoots from the jelly, so that the fighter knows that this will be the last thing he will do in this life.

[Tuzik]

So Javelin is a defensive contraption

[TatarinSSSR]

It's impossible. It takes a lot of variables to come together in a short time - detecting the shooter with Javelin and destroying him before launch or after the first launch. Javelin with GOS operates on the principle of target recognition by patterns, this happens in seconds. After that, the launch and the shooter operator immediately leaves the position or hides in cover. He does not need to keep the target in sight until it hits.

[Aliken]

Drones will help.

[Rzzz]

And so it is. The shot is quite noticeable. Shooting from a short distance, due to the rather primitive thermal imager in the rocket. Even if you aimly pull the 125 mm RP there, then it will be very bad.

This is some kind of miraculous word "jaba", ajnak is praying for it on the foreheads of the "living" place.
Just interesno, at least someone in real life, "jabs" saved from something?

that's right, there are too many questions for this miracle weapon

[rocket757]

It’s clear that a smart, expensive complex ... but not the best, the best in terms of parameters.

[Holgerton]

The feeling when VO news authors are trying to get news from a distant foreign country, but something went wrong and the contract for maintenance and support of imports of already delivered ATGMs turn into a whole dumping campaign on the arms market in general, and Javelin ATGM in particular.
If this is "Voennoye Obozreniye", then you should at least know where to copy and paste from.

he clearly wrote "to put a pig on the USA" and not to himself, "modern MANPADS and ATGMs" and not "comparable to javelin"

[TatarinSSSR]

The United States has two tasks in this contract - the first is profit, the second is the increase in losses of US opponents in regional conflicts like Donbass.

The title "captain" would suit you perfectly. By the way, the US has different tasks there.

Saturation of ATGM is very serious.
Although stocks are replenished.
Darts as a spare, and at the forefront everything is Ukrainian, from KB Luch.
Both sides, in view of saturation, have long gone over to the ATGM war. (Artillery is "prohibited" by MC2, although it is quite alive.)
