Looks like Ukraine is ready to do some serious damage on the battlefield or they’re just really into javelin throwing competitions. Either way, it’s a win-win for them.
Wow, I didn’t know Ukraine was into javelin throwing. Talk about a diverse military strategy.
We’ll see this equipment for sale in Turkey like two weeks after it lands in Gdańsk
Makes sense since the Olympics are over and I assume there is a serious glut of javelins worldwide right now.
So forces can keep up their stellar record of making Russian things go “boom.”
Javelins? What the fuck? Are they at least sending Olympic level javelin throwers?
Is there going to be a regiment of legionnaires too?
For a moment, I thought ancient javelins. they going to hold the passes like in 300 ?
Does Russia even have 4000 tanks left?
Can’t wait to see them crash those into the ground too like the F16s
The only bad part is they aren’t getting 4000 Javelins today.
Just get them to them in time
What year ?
Pew pew
Democrats funding wars? I thought this was news.
The U.S. Army’s $1.3 billion contract for Javelins to Ukraine is indeed a significant move, highlighting ongoing support amid the conflict. Some see the sheer number as a major boost to Ukraine’s defense capabilities, while others jest about the timing and nature of the delivery.
Go get them
I’ll never forget when Congress approved those javelins for Ukraine back when Trump was president. Unfortunately they didn’t receive those javelins to repel Russian invasion because Donald Trump was more concerned about getting fake dirt on Joe Biden. Believe me.
Aren’t javelins a one time use?
I’ve now seen multiple soldiers say that if they’d have to choose between a Javelin, or the same dollar amount of FPV drones, they’d take the FPV drones every time. With 10 000 having already been delivered, I’m kina surprised there’s only a couple hundred tanks destroyed by Javelins, according to the article.
Perhaps they just haven’t used a whole lot of them yet, but then I wouldn’t expect them to need another 4 000.
If the FPV drone really is a much more effective tank killer than the Javelin, than holy hell, is the battlefield of the future gonna look very different.
But when????
Ukraine has been a huge money maker for the US defense industry – the DOD routinely puts out news releases about banner sales:
[DOD Has Seen ‘Huge’ Increase in Military Sales Since Ukraine Invasion](https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3736017/dod-has-seen-huge-increase-in-military-sales-since-ukraine-invasion/)
Who had “dudes with laser-guided rocket launchers on ATVs will take down the Russian empire” on their future timeline bingo card
Can I get one?
**Det. Briscoe**: What made you go into this line of work?
**Dr. Rodgers**: Free javelins.
Wow. A news site with a well-written article that isn’t bombarded by pop-up ads and followed by infinite AI generated fake news articles.
All they’re going to do with them is instigate a nuclear war. 🤷♂️
I play COD, can confirm these will help Ukraine 👍👍
A retired AMC salesman is very confused.
Good Ukraine needs them.
Remember it was Trump not Obama that first gave any lethal aid to Ukraine, including Javelins.
Even tho Ukraine was invaded under Obama’s term.
Are there any Russian tanks left though?
even if half of that is destroyed in transport and the remaining half achieves a 20% success rate thats still 400 tanks gone
Ukraine getting ready for the 2028 Olympics
What about the people who need missiles right here at home hmmm?
So the battery issue with the Javelins is fixed?
May Saint-Javelin bless them
Please! Send them deep into our mutual enemy Putin’s trump-land.
Can only use them for training purposes though, using them against Russia may provoke them.
Currently total production capacity for the Javelin is only 2,400 missiles per year (currently working to ramp up to 4,000 a year by 2026). Ukraine isn’t getting 100% of the new missiles, so unfortunately it will probably take several years to deliver the 4,000 to Ukraine. Hopefully not too little, too late.
