Russian President Vladimir Putin, in remarks on the US decision to send new weapons to Ukraine, said Russia is handling the situation with ease and is already destroying American-supplied weaponry “by the dozen”, the Russian news agency reported. state news agency RIA this Saturday (4).
Putin made the statements in an interview with national television, which should be shown next Sunday (5).
Weapons already shipped
According to analyst Mark Cancian, from the Center for International and Strategic Studies, quoted by El Mundo, the US has between 20,000 and 25,000 Javelin, which means that between 7,000 and 8,000 missiles have been sent to Ukraine.
The problem is that the Lockheed Martin and Northrop companies, which manufacture these missiles, can only produce 6,480 missiles a year. In other words, a year is not enough to replace the missiles that the US sent to war.
The UK will have sent 6,200 NLAW missiles, almost half of its stock. The missiles are manufactured in the UK and the delivery time will be similar to the Javelin.
