Successful launch of a Javelin. To be used for defensive purposes against Russian armor in the event of Russian military aggression. Occurs in the first few seconds of the clip. The rest is Ukrainian President Poroshenko thanking President Trump, Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, The whole Senate and Congress.

We might get some field intelligence on how the fielded Russian tank protection systems perform against the top-attack Javelin.

The Russian army may want the same data. Everyone wins except the Russian tank crews.

Maybe we should be focusing on Iran not Ukraine.

We visited the daughter and son-in-law for Molly Pitcher Day at Fort Bragg a few years back. They fired a few of these babies off, and they are fast. The missile would launch and bee halfway across the sky before the sound of the launch would actually reach the crowded bleachers.

How does the left spin this in light of their argument that Trump is a Russian asset?
