Russia is being hit hard by Ukraine‘s Javelin anti-tank missiles. What makes this weapon so powerful? The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates. However, corruption is the main problem that every country has to fight with and the Ukrainians are no different! The expensive javelins have allegedly found their way into the black market on the Internet. Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that military equipment is being sold by the Ukrainians. The sales market is often the Middle East or North Africa. The information already has more than one confirmation. For example, you can inquire about this ad on the Internet, where you can buy the expensive weapon for a discounted price. This information surfaced after a local Turkish station reported that The anti-tank weapons and assault rifles that Western countries sent to Ukraine came out of Syria. The arms dealer, who stated that he bought from Ukrainian commanders and brought the weapons to Syria’s Idlib region, quoted a price of 15 thousand dollars for anti-tank weapons, including the US-made Javelin. The station reports that an arms dealer living in the Idlib region, which is under the control of the jihadist Hayat-Tahrir Al-Sham organization in Syria, offered the weapons he procured from Ukraine for sale via Telegram. The cost of a Javelin is 178,000 dollars with its ammunition and smart missile launcher system that can lock on the target.
No JonPeston saying he is an American citizen.
Because... Cyberstalking!
Rephrase. You’re coming in garbled.
I can’t think of a more pathetic person than one who is too ashamed to post what country he is a citizen of.
Is that clear enough?
With EVERYTHING we left in Afghanistan that train has already left the station, there is already enough crap out there to cause us harm!! It is so hard to believe that we have UTTERLY STUPID people governing over us AND that such STUPID people are becoming so damn wealthy governing over us!! SPIT
That's not cyberstalking, you silly foreigner.
Ukraine is NOT ONLY a revenue source for Dems BELIEVE ME Republicans have got their paws in the trough too, Graham, McConnell, Merkowski they are in this money laundering trough up to their eyeballs!! REMEMBER this is OUR MONEY they are stealing from us!!
ah...ok
Well your shift is interesting... why then “JonPreston”?
Russia said use Tucker for propaganda as much as possible.
It’s not that I think Tucker is being paid for propaganda. Tucker is just completely wrong about the importance of this war.
There are two separate consequences here.
Sure, good folks at ISIS or like can find good use for simpler hardware, but in addition to this there are already technology leaks.
French Caesar was sold to Russia, and today there is a celebration on Russian forums about the acquisition of allegedly super-secret targeting system of M777.

Very good point. We are flooding the world with U.S. arms that can easily be used against us.
Where is the congress on this obvious problem?
