The US has delivered hundreds of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine for the first time over the last few days, including over 200 on Monday, according to a US official and a congressional source briefed on the matter.
Earlier this year the US gave the green light to Baltic countries including Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to send American-made weaponry that they have to Ukraine, including Stingers. But until now the Biden administration had held off on the US providing the Stingers directly to Ukraine, while they have provided other lethal weaponry.
Some members of Congress have been pushing for additional Stinger missiles to be sent to Ukraine for months. The Ukrainians have repeatedly made pleas more weaponry from the US, including anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons.
US Secretary of State Tony Blinken told reporters on Wednesday that at this time Ukraine is still able to receive “vital defensive military equipment” that it needs.

Key part: Ukraine is still able to receive “vital defensive military equipment”
About 20,000 anti-tank missiles are on the way.
It’s all part of that Not-Just-In-Time logistics methodology the Pentagon has been perfecting.
Good thing this war with Russia Hillary has been wanting so badly is finally happening or people might notice that Pfizer’s own data showed their vaccine killed 1200 people and it’s time for Pfizer executives to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Why would they announce this? And the USA back to its old tricks, this is exactly how we built the Taliban when Russia invaded Afghanistan back in the 1970’s early 80’s. We armed the Mujahadeen with Stingers and we got the Taliban out of it. What terrorist group can we expect in the future from this action?
I’m a tax payer and government has never given me a free stinger missile
Ukraine is part of the New World Order, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Biden and the Deep State must stop the truth about Ukraine from getting out, at all costs.
Should be delivering 100s per hour! Dead Russians salute.
Did Joe get his 10% ?
“I’m a tax payer and government has never given me a free stinger missile”
When Russia invades your home, let me know.
About f*ing time. Why not 6 months ago?
“Did Joe get his 10% ?”
I don’t care either way.
Good stuff. Wonder if it was a stinger that took down this Russian copter:

“About f*ing time. Why not 6 months ago?”
Yep. I give Biden a C- on Russia/Ukraine.
He had the intelligence Russia was going to invade for weeks/months.
Military aid should have flowed back then.
As proven, Hillary is nicely tied to Russia and Putin. Against Trump and the US.
Hey, if the police can come after citizens using Choppers, then citizens should have Stinger missiles for self defense.
What if Russia decided to give BLM and ANTIFA military weapons to take out the police?
This mischief can go two ways damn it,
That was reported as an igla manpad.
How? Via FedEx??
You know why.
