This “kid” lived in Donetsk and was forced into the DNR/LNR army. Looks like 16,17 years old. Now POW.
Barely legal Russian cannon fodder.
Another large group of POWs.

Armor in a hull-down position presents a smaller target in a LOS situation. But while the Javelin may acquire by LOS at ground level, it actually increases in altitude and strikes from a high angle, IIRC.
The Ukes need many high altitude THAAD batteries. And int from us.
Agreed on the Javelins, etc.

I do believe she may be pro 2A. A bit over the top, perhaps.
