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?
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!
