Do not be surprised in the next few months or years when Hizbollah routinely shoots down American-made Israeli F-16s and knocks out Abrams tanks or for that matter the locally made Merkava tanks with anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles donated to Ukraine!
Ukraine is consuming weapons donated by Western governments at an alarming rate. According to CNN:
Ukraine wants 500 Javelin anti-tank missiles and 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles delivered from the US daily, according to a recent military assistance wish list. CNN viewed the document that details the items Ukraine believes it needs from the US.
By March 7, less than two weeks into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US and other NATO members had sent about 17,000 anti-tank missiles and 2,000 anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine. Since then, that number has certainly increased but an update has not been made public.
It is now six weeks into the war and just imagine how many of these missiles had gone to Ukraine. The Russians have not deployed that many tanks or aircraft in Ukraine. And, neither has Ukraine claimed to have scored that many hits on Russian targets. Where are these missile disappearing into?
For decades, Ukraine has ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. In Brussels, the Ukrainian foreign minister had three demands to make to NATO: โweapons, weapons, and weaponsโ. You might think that, in midst of a war, the Ukrainian President Elensky might be asking for donations of food, medicine, clothing and other life-support materials. Apparently not!
A lot of the donated weapons are outdated or expired stocks such as the Strela rockets donated by Germany. But what is worrying are the shoulder-fired or man-portable anti-aircraft Stinger (US) and NLAW (UK-Sweden), and anti-tank Javelin (US) and AT4 (Sweden) missiles. These fetch a high premium in the international arms market. If these weapons are being consumed at a high rate in Ukraine and there are no commensurate Russian losses, then it only implies one thing: Ukrainian politicians, bureaucrats, generals, soldiers and mercenaries are selling these free supplies in the international black market for illegal weapons! Politicians and bureaucrats in the West also know this but they are happy only when the arms manufacturers are happy.
I would not be surprised if countries already sanctioned by the West with arms embargoes, such as Iran and North Korea, are buying these weapons on the cheap. I would not be surprised if China also ships these weapons back home for reverse-engineering. Thousands of international terrorists from Syria and Libya are already in Ukraine on the invitation of the country's embattled government. I guess these terrorists are mostly shopping rather than fighting. It is not just the Ukrainian airspace that will never be safe again, these man-portable anti-aircraft missiles will pose a threat to civilian aircraft worldwide for years or decades to come.
They did not outright say there never were any US military scientists on these labs. The cop out thusly:A few key points about the Department of Defense's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program Biological Threat Reduction Program activities in Ukraine this is part of the Department of Defense's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. Through that program, we have invested approximately $200 million in Ukraine since 2005, supporting 46 Ukrainian labs, health facilities, and diagnostic sites. DOD's CTR program began its biological work with Ukraine to eliminate the remnants of the Soviet Union's illegal biological weapons program left in the Soviet successor states after the USSR fell. There are no DOD bioweapon labs in Ukraine or anywhere else in the world.
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL (1): My understanding is we don't have U.S. personnel at any of these labs. So, let me just lay that flat, Bob. There's no U.S. personnel at these labs.
Yes, of course, there are none NOW. They left because of the Russians there NOW.
You can trust these guysโฆ to attack their own citizens. Why would the think twice about harming Ukrainians, Georgians or Russians?
Several Ukrainian scientists who worked at these labs have provided evidence on video how the US defense scientists exploited Ukraine. It is being shown on RT TV channel.
