U.S. has sent hundreds of Stinger missiles to Ukraine this week
The U.S. has delivered hundreds of Stinger missiles to Ukraine this week, including more than 200 on Monday, two congressional officials briefed on the deliveries said.
The shipments are part of the $350 million lethal and nonlethal aid package the White House announced late Friday. The package also includes Javelin anti-tank missiles and ammunition, both of which the Ukrainian government has said it needs to fight off the advancing Russian military.
Stinger missiles can shoot down aircraft. During the Cold War, the U.S. government secretly supplied Afghan resistance fighters with Stingers to shoot down Russian helicopters over Afghanistan.
The Defense Department and the National Security Council declined to comment.
Germany announced over the weekend that it was sending 500 Stinger missiles to Ukraine, as well.
If the Russians control the borders, have attacked military airports, and everything else they are doing, how does a foreign country send supplies to Ukraine? Am I missing something?
All I have to say (to CNN) is “if that’s what the sources say, than show me the sources”

Won't be long before those nazis are taking down airliners again like the Malaysia flight with all those AIDS scientists.
