Those aren’t going to be very helpful. The SA-7B is equivalent to the US Redeye missile, which had a lot of problems. Both are pretty myopic and aren’t terribly effective against fast movers. The warhead is also small and is known to be able to be shrugged off by Russian armored choppers.
The MG3s would be more useful, but there’s no note that they’re coming with ammo. Ukraine doesn’t have stocks of 7.62x51 NATO ammo - their logistics for GPMGs are centered on the 7.62x54R cartridge, which is not compatible at all.
MANPADS..... đź‘€I thought that was for sanitary use for trans sexuals
We didn’t even send our weapons yet the 800 million dollars that Biden was talking about he is so full of it.
Who will end up with these advanced military weapons when this is all over?
Are those for confused soldiers?
Kein Ă–l fĂĽr dich, du Nazi-Bastarde!
You would think they would come up with a better acronym than “MANPAD.”
Love it. Sending back stuff for the Russians to capture that originally came from Russia. Have to hand it to the Germans. They don’t have to dispose of this old junk themselves.
So which is it??
Delivered, or “approved”???
The clickbait contradicts itself in the first sentence.
Excellent!
The Ukrainians won't have any trouble using these, Nazi DNA is required to enable these weapons.
More to the point, small, transportable anti-ship missiles might be of great help against a naval attack on the city of Odessa, the largest Ukrainian port city. Since the Ukrainians have already taken moves to prevent a troop landing there, the Russians may decide to flatten the city from a distance.
They would likely want to use cruise missiles to do so.
Thus, small, fast boats carrying anti-ship missiles might force the Russian warships back. Of course, if they just happened to drop some asub weaponry as well, that would be just peachy.
A nation cannot claim neutrality when it supplies arms to a war.
