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.

No worries that any hardware will end up in Russian hands after seeing how careful Joe was with our gear in Afghanistan.
You are correct. Ukraine is Deep State, Biden and George Soros' play thing.
Over land. Probably Poland/Ukraine border.
Hopefully Pootie will release all files from Burisma and our biolabs when he occupies them.
“Ukraine is Deep State”
So many crazy people, not enough time...
We are being invaded on our southern border and thats more dangerous than some Russians.
Oh joy. The warmongers cheer. The more stingers and resistance, the more likely nuclear weapons will be used. Use you heads, folks. We need peace. No more dead Ukrainians or Russians. This has been instigated and inflamed by the globalists and military industrial complex. You don’t see what you don’t want to see. Declare NATO will stay out of Ukraine and Putin will retreat. Go for peace.
What happens when Russia captures a few hundred or thousand of these, and lets them slip into the control of Assad in Syria, or the Iranians, or the Houthis. Maybe Venezuela would like some....
American weapons being used against Israel, Saudi Arabia or God knows who.
Think of the consequences, people!
Russian fighter plane shot down.

The military industrial complex is surely getting their big payoff for their betrayal of real President Trump.
And I can hear the arguing now between the Eco Nazis and the Eugenicist in our fake government.
“We need peace”
No. We need dead Russians.
Russian trolls: PGR88, NorseViking, Kazan, McGruff
One of the risks I see with this strategy is that the Russians will seize many of these stinger missiles before they can be used. Then what would stop them from taking out random combat aircraft the world over for years with deniability? The best the US could say is “We know the Russians did it because it was one our missiles in the batch that we flooded Ukraine with so we know they came from the Ukraine. Don’t we look stupid.”
Little Pukin is F*ed.
Russians will probably just buy it off the Ukrainians anyway.
Biden admin. had a plan. Goad Russia into attacking. This is Bidens war. Putin put the red line in the sand and Biden said we're crossing it. But we didn't see that in the SOTU speech.
“Russian fighter plane shot down.”
Wonder if it was stingers delivered yesterday?
