A consignment of 20 British Saxon armored cars has been delivered to Ukraine, with another 55 of the vehicles expected to arrive in the country in the near future, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov has said. Turchynov, speaking during a visit on Friday to a training center of the Ukrainian National Guard, said that in the near future the armored vehicles will undergo conversion work at the enterprise of state concern Ukroboronprom to adapt them to the needs of the Ukrainian army.
"These Saxons were obtained without weapons - they will be equipped with a weapons station made in Ukraine, which should provide effective fire cover for the National Guard or the other units that the vehicles will be delivered to," Turchynov said.
After testing, the armored vehicles will "immediately enter service with our military," he said.

These are vehicles, not weapons. Ukraine has been looted and basically disarmed by Russian puppet governments since independence and when they finally got real independence, Russia invaded.

Saxon was born in 1935, how is he a draft dodger?.
Korea. There was a draft through 1973 by the way.
The Javelin is quite a match for Russian armor, as it the Carl Gustav.
Ok, but are we sure his a draft dodger?.
There are no Russian in Kiev. Not a single one.
As I define it yes. Others...most others...are FAR more forgiving than I am. Put it this way, he damn sure isn’t a Steve McQueen, James Garner or Lee Marvin; 3 men who were the real deal.
