Lets have a party! Right what they need, ATMs and ATGMs, and MANPADs If even every
third warhead kills a target, this would translate into losses that break any offensive's backbone. They need to get these weapons to the fighting troops without the Russians taking the transports out, however. Should be diable. Ukraine is a bit bigger than Germany, and roughly comparable to the size of France. The border it shares with Poland is long.
Does anyone know whether there is any MANPAD existing that has a higher reach than Stingers?
