“30? That’ll do it..”

No chance on hell those 30 will be in active engagement. The 2000 rounds will just be handed over to the Russians.

They will not be fighting. They will be training the Ukrainian troops to use the anti-tank weapons. Give them one month and they can train about 300 troops to use the weapons.

I seem to recall that’s what they said about those advisers we sent to Vietnam in 1959.

Did they define Anti-tank weapon.

It might mean something different than you think.

Possibly a 22lr takedown cause that is a scary assault weapon to the butter knife brits

What if Putin is going to find some freedom fighters in the UK and send them missiles as well? The UK is a small place.

“I seem to recall that’s what they said about those advisers we sent to Vietnam in 1959.”

When did we first send advisors to Vietnam?

In September 1950, President Harry Truman sent a Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) to Vietnam to assist the French in the First Indochina war.
