Azerbaycan 24 ^ | 1/6/2023 | Staff

A militant wearing the insignia of Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel (Cartel Del Golfo, CDG) was filmed in the state of Tamaulipas carrying a US-made anti-tank missile launcher. Milenio TV identified the weapon as a Javelin, thousands of which were sent to Ukraine by the Pentagon.

Footage filmed in Matamoros on Monday and aired on Tuesday evening by the news channel Milenio TV showed a man with CDG patches armed with a Kalashnikov rifle and a missile they said was the Raytheon-made FGM-148.

Over 10,000 Javelins from Pentagon stockpiles have been sent to Ukraine since last February, to the point where the US military has begun to run out of the missiles itself.

Milenio presenter Azucena Uresti noted on Twitter that the estimated value of a Javelin launcher on the black market was anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000, while the average cost of a missile was about $30,000.

That’s not a Javelin. Looks more like a SRAW.

So you think these Javelins will not be coming to a town near you? Have you seen any illegals lately? You will, and the Javelins will follow.

Very PROFITABLE. It’s much easier to “smuggle” contraband INTO MEXICO than it is to smuggle OUT,

More like an AT4.

And this isn’t the first time something similar to this has occurred as past reports (by even favorable Biden regime media) found weapons meant for Ukraine in other countries, sold on the black market, etc.

But Biden trolls and Democrat supporters of Biden say keep em coming!

The Ukraine war is a war for markets, but the market isn't Ukraine. The market is war itself.

So was Afghanistan, which I initially supported to my shame.

Three problems.

1. that is AT-4, not a Javelin.

 AT-4 - 84mm rocket diameter, has a rear conical end cap:

 Javelin, 5" or 127mm diameter, thicker and stepped or rounded end caps.

2. AT-4s are produced under license and used in several countries, including Central and South America.

3. There is no way to know where the cartel got it.

Well, obviously if weapons are being shipped out of Ukraine we certainly should not look at how it happened to prevent future losses. We should just be sending MORE WEAPONS!!!! /sarc

Ukraine....what a joke

That’s jumping to conclusions. The weapon could also have come from weapons we left in Afghanistan when Biden bolted. It could have come from a number of sources. But, such an alternative source would not fit with your agenda.

Get the serial number and make your case.

Ukraine got at least 6k AT4’s from the US.

So being for weapons to Ukraine is becoming pro-cartel, and this isn’t the first time either stuff like this has happened.

But Biden agenda supporters will disagree...

This is now Europe’s problem and it always was.
