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.
So does this surprise ANYONE, SPIT!!!

They Got ‘Kitty Chasers?’
Story on FR yesterday about top government officials in Ukraine buying homes in Switzerland as Biden sends another $1.8 billion for “humanitarian” aid.
Now the U.S. will have to go out and buy the weapons we gave to Ukraine on the black market just to keep them away from people who would do us harm.
USASupreme is a website with no - zero - transparency as to its ownership or even who is in charge, and most articles have no inpependent source verification noted.
No.
Ukraine was apparently revenue source for many senior Democrats. I am not surprised it is corrupt. That is why I am mostly indifferent to the war. If anything, I wish the Russians would win faster and force terms on the Ukrainians. That way Ukrainians would stop being killed.
A lot of what I read indicates that the Javelins are mostly bouncing off the newewr kinds of Russian tanks.
This was easily predictable, after all we are talking about one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Well, not true, I saw them sold for 30,000 and I'm sure one can bargain the price down.
HIMARS is said to be 720,000, this could be below the listing price too.
Any idea how to pay the 10% tax to the big guy on internet sales? I'm sure this is in the Constitution somewhere, but there was no checkbox on any ad?
10% for the Big Guy...
You want a 30-round magazine? No one needs that much firepower!!!!
Unless, of course, you’re Ukrainian. You can have pretty much anything at all, then.
Syria ?
Just as likely came from the weapons stash TalyO’Biden gifted afganistan.
