No training needed? So simple, a caveman could do it?
Would we not have to send in ‘advisors’ to train the Ukrainians on them?

“Would we not have to send in ‘advisors’ to train the Ukrainians on them?”
Actually not. Javelins were first delivered to Ukraine several years ago. Training has already been provided.

Ukraine knows how to use the javelins.
And do we think that Russian military won’t destroy Ukraine tanks first?
Russia unveils new anti-tank missile for battle helicopters and new era drones

The Kalashnikov Concern unveiled a new anti-tank missile dubbed ‘Vihr-1’ at the ‘Army 2021’ military exhibition outside Moscow in late August 2021.
The projectile is set to nullify capabilities of all latest tank armor sets, thus making it the perfect weapon to shoot down heavily armored machines in any upcoming wars of the 21st century.
The ‘Vihr-1’ presents in itself a modernised version of anti-tank missiles previously constructed in Russia. Engineers at one of Kalashnikov’s subsidiaries that specialises in creating helicopter projectiles compare it with its direct analogue - the ‘Ataka’ missile - and say that the new projectile has increased firepower and range compared to the existing anti-tank missiles on the Russian market. The new one has a range of 10 kilometers (nearly double that of the ‘Ataka’) and was created to penetrate even an ‘Abrams’ tank active armor set.

“It can do so due to two warheads installed into one missile. The rocket explodes twice - the first warhead destroys the active upper layers of armor, while the other warhead explodes a millisec after the first and burns through the metal inside of the machine,” explains Alexey Ramm, a military analyst at ‘Izvestia’ newspaper.
The weapon can burn through 150 mm of tank armor and is set to be able to eliminate even the most advanced machines on the weapon market.

We have already sent in over 150 advisors. Anyone remember how Viet Nam started?
