The American Javelin anti-tank systems are unlikely to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine turn the tide of hostilities in the event of a military conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, but it is likely that thanks to them Kiev will win a tactical victory in a particular battle or repel attacks. The former head of the Defense Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic Igor Strelkov told NEWS.ru about this.
In this case, the interlocutor of the publication believes, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will inflict “serious losses on armored vehicles, which will be used by the Russian side, many Russian soldiers will die.”
According to Strelkov, 30 installations is not much, but under certain conditions, the simultaneous use of 30 missiles in a certain area will help Kiev to succeed.
“I believe that in order to learn how to fire normally from a Javelin, it does not take more time than, say, to learn how to calculate a conventional Russian ATGM,” he said, suggesting that it could take a couple of weeks or a month. “It depends on the intensity of the training. , from the instructor. “
Recall that in October Washington supplied Kiev with 30 Javelin anti-tank missile systems and 180 missiles for them with a total value of $ 60 million. In total, in 2021, the United States allocated more than $ 450 million to Ukraine within the framework of approved assistance.
In turn, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov added that the Kremlin does not have data on whether the Javelin PRK was used in Donbass, but their presence in the region is an obvious fact.
