  2. During the Cold War NATO knew they were outnumbered by Russian tanks so they developed better anti-tank weapons as a counter. Russia in its "we won WWII" arrogance didn't bother to pay attention.

  3. Meanwhile, "enemies" are cooperating in providing Europe with natural gas…
    "Nothing personal, guys. It's just a business.".
    This is the God's word,
    1Timothy 6: 10: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
    God made all people from one man, Adam. All people are brothers.
    The God saves people by preaching (1st Corinthians 1: 21). He has nothing to do with war.
    Unfortunately, the lying and corrupt clergy is silent about this. They even bless racists and nazis in the name of God.
    The problem is that Devil rules the world. He is a liar and a murderer. This is why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why people cry over stray cats and hate their brothers. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom.
    That's why we have the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Jehovah will put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will rise and we will meet our loved ones again! 🙂

  4. I bet it is !! Great weapon ! But you could get 250 FPV drones for the price . Even if you allocated 5 to each vehicle ! That's 50 vehicles (vice 1)

  5. This weapon right here…along with drones…is a game changer on the open battlefield of modern day war….this is one method that caused the russians to withdraw from afghanistan after 10 years….usa was their for 25

  8. JAVELIN ADVANCE ?
    Properly trained on training ground(excludes stress of battlefield ) soldier using a Javelin will on average have 19% chance to hit a target

  14. Trump was the first US president to send Javelins to Ukraine…Obongo and Uncle kiddie sniffer Biden refused to send lethal aid.

  16. 19%
    If you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNvE8WymAtw
    there will be an ex marine Brian Beletic that righ on time mark 13:38 starts reading from official army web page stats about javelin performance.. see it for yourself before you send another 44 year old Ukrainian with 6 weeks of training in front of 300 thousand heavily armed Russians . Around 1500-2000 of those middle aged men with 6 weeks of tranning ,gets killed every day.They last on average 4 hours on the battlefield …

  18. ukraine went through 9 years of javelin production in the first year alone. theres no way production is going to keep up here or anywhere else. why do you think we keep saying this war is over? this is not a guess.

  22. Maybe a billion dollar send to Ukraine directly in 3 years. Nearly all are military asset. Everyone is trying to get rid of their old tech to Ukraine. While buying a new one from other Western country. Giving away F16 to replace F35. New modern leopard, challenger and Abram. Old artillery shell to be use. Why not send it to Ukraine.

  24. Yes, I am jealous!! If someone wants to become very professiant with regard to these, the US Military (or other) should send them to Ukraine to train… They almost certainly have the most experience, even beyond Americans..
