Raytheon just said they cannot make any more stinger missiles, all of them have been given to Ukraine and no more can be made because certain parts require rare minerals that are only found in Russia.
TIME TO MINE ANWR!
eBay?
Oooops.
Could be intentionally misleading...
Way to go Joe
Joe needs to go
Okay, let’s give them Oil then!

Okay, let’s give them Billions of dollars then!
oh, wait... the ‘no longer a reserve currency’ is worthless fiat.

“95% of the 17 rare earth metals come exclusively from China and Russia”
How did they make stinger missiles in the 1980s, I think that is a major flaw, didn’t they ever imagine fighting Russia? What if we were fighting China and Russia allied with China? We need to source all war materials domestically, this is crazy.
I'm sure we've got better stuff available.
It is jaw dropping how quickly the left is bringing an end to the American experiment. I hope the chronically distracted, and limitlessly stupid American public enjoys being part of the one world government that’s coming.
Maybe we could buy back the ones we left for the Taliban.
Please push China to make more for us!
Nah, but the tallywhackerban may have some to sell out of afgonistan. Not sure if they listed any on ebay. Maybe an Indiana gun show where the folks from chicongo get their weapons? Are we idiots? Why yes Virginia, I believe we are.
All deliberate on the part of the Biden administration. Taunt Russia into invading Ukraine, send U.S. weapons to Ukraine, and leave the U.S. short of military supplies weakening our on defense capabilities. Gosh, these people are evil.
Sounds like a Babylon Bee parody.
The link does not support the claim that Stingers cannot be made because of lack of material from Russia.
“Right before Ukraine hit, we were going to divest ourselves of Stingers,” a congressional source said”
