These are not defensive weapons.

Wonderful. This will ensure the war continues for months, and increases the likelihood of an attack on Russian soil, which increases a tactical nuke response.

Any weapon is useful for defense. If you mean because it can kill armor, it certainly is defensive. Molotov cocktails and short range AT stuff is really risky business.

If I reasonably know a threat is coming and I can target and engage at a mile, my 338LM is a defensive weapon. If I decide to shoot an innocent man at a mile or an inch, that’s not defensive.

A curious oxymoron - defensive weapon.

That’s right. It will be used to go to downtown Moscow over the kremlin.

Whether a weapon is defensive or offensive is determined by it’s use. If I use a pistol to shoot an armed intruder who has broken into my home, it is by definition a defensive weapon. If I use the same pistol to shoot an unarmed stranger to steal their car, it is offensive.

Ukraine is fighting a defensive war against an invading army. All of their weapons are being used in a defensive manner.

These are defensive weapons when used in your own territory and fighting an invader.

All weapons are defensive weapons when used against an invader.
