    Source: Ukraine receives U.S. Javelin systems: Poroshenko


    Ukraine has received the first U.S. Javelin missiles and launch units, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Monday.

    In March the U.S. State Department approved the possible sale of Javelin systems to Ukraine at an estimated cost of $47 million.

    “I can confirm that the long-awaited weapon arrived in the Ukrainian army” Poroshenko said on Facebook.

    Kiev and Washington believe that the Javelin system will help Ukraine build its long-term defense capacity.

    Source: For first time, Ukraine showcases its American-made Javelin missiles


    Ukraine tested its new Javelin anti-tank missiles Tuesday for the first time since the United States approved the sale of the weapon system to assist Ukraine’s defenses in its ongoing conflict with pro-Russian separatists.

    Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced the first test of the missiles over Twitter.

    “Finally this day has come! Today, for the first time in Ukraine, the launch of Javelin missile complexes took place,” Poroshenko wrote. “This is a very effective defensive weaponry, which is used in the event of Russian offensive on the positions of Ukrainian troops.”

    Poroshenko also wrote that he was grateful to U.S. leadership, including President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, for deciding that Ukraine should be armed with the weapons.

    As you can see the Ukrainians already had them even before Zelensky was elected.


    Do you actually work at being so darn wrong?

    If the critics are shown to be, yet again, wildly wrong about Trump then it only makes sense to be more concerned about them

    Schifty rigged the hearings so he was the final arbiter of all that would happen, as well as the primary prosecutor... he coddled the Ambassador like she was some frail little flower, and treated Stefanik like she was some kind of moron. What a sexist jerk.

    I'm sure in your twisted little world you 'presume' that's perfectly fair.
    Yup. He appointed himself prosecutor, judge and jury and established rules that even a few on the left have characterized as a kangaroo court.
