Fallout Re: Infantry Served Weapons and Organization.

This is a "two fold" post, one it confirms the receipt by UKRAINE of the JAVELIN ATGW and two that the SIPRI database has been updated and released through 1950 - 2018 (When the initial UN treaties for arms sales were ratified.). I firmly standby the date as submitted based on the refs. as presented. Time period is from 2016 -2018 for the below.
United States
R: Ukraine (210) FGM-148 Javelin Anti-tank missile 2018 2018 (210) Probably second-hand
6 TPQ-36 Firefinder Arty locating radar 2015 2015-2016 6 Second-hand
3 HMMWV Up-Armoured APV 2016 Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle version
2 Island Patrol craft 2018 2018 2 Second-hand

The FIREFINDER was much better than the Cell Phones they were using. The Russians "hacked" literally them to death and the Ukrainians suffered heavy losses in crews and artillery until they figured out what was happening.

I always follow-up where I can.

Regards,
Pat
