Estonia has included a large number of Javelin anti-tank missiles in a new military aid package for Ukraine
The Baltic countries will continue to support Ukraine, despite the fact that they themselves exist on subsidies from the European Union. The loss of Kyiv is a nightmare for the limitrophes, which must be prevented, so the supply weapons etc. will continue. Estonia announced the sending of another package of military assistance.
The Estonian Ministry of National Defense has put together a substantial package of military assistance for the Ukrainian army, judging by its cost of $80 million. As stated by the head of the Estonian military department, Hanno Pevkur, the basis of the new package will be ammunition, but not artillery, but for anti-tank systems and small arms. The Estonians also donate machine guns, diving equipment and various equipment. The full list is not disclosed for “security reasons.”
- the Estonian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
Tallinn has already stated that the transfer of such a large package of military assistance to Ukraine will not cause any damage to Estonia’s defense capability; the Estonians “still have it.” And if there is not enough, then reserves can be replenished in the European Union, especially since Brussels compensates for sending aid to Kyiv. The Balts take advantage of this by dumping old junk into Ukraine and purchasing more modern weapons for compensation.
The Estonian Ministry of Defense states that since the beginning of the Russian military defense it has sent the Armed Forces of Ukraine almost 500 million euros in military aid, but at the same time modestly keeps silent about what compensation it has received from the EU.
