The Russian military continues to captured recently-supplied, Wester-made weapons from Kiev forces in the Donbass region.
On May 20, Russian sources shared photos showing some advanced Western-made weapons which were captured from Kiev forces during a recent battle on a frontline near the city of Izium.
The captured weapons included:
- Three US-made FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missile along with a Command Launch Unit (CLU). Kiev forces have so far received more than 5,000 Javelin missiles and at least 377 CLUs for the system from the US, the UK, France and Estonia.
- Five German-made MATADOR anti-tank weapons. Kiev forces have so far received more than 5,100 MATADOR weapons from Germany.
- Two Swedish-made AT4 recoilless anti-tank weapons. Kiev forces have so far received more than 10,000 AT4 weapons from Sweden and 6,000 others from the US.
- A British-made NLAW anti-tank missiles. Kiev forces have so far received at least 4,200 NLAW missiles from the UK and 100 others from Luxembourg.
- A US-made M72 LAW anti-tank weapon. Kiev forces have so far received 4,500 rounds of the weapons from Canada, 4,000 from Norway and 2,700 others from Denmark.
- A US-made FIM-92 Stinger man-portable air-defense system (MANPADs). Kiev forces have so far received more than 2,250 Stinger MANPADs from the US, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and the Netherlands.

In total, the West delivered 60,000 anti-tank weapons to Kyiv forces over the last few months. The delivers of some of these weapons, like the Javelin, NLAW and Stinger, began even before the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
The Russian military and the armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) have already captured or destroyed loads of Western-made weapons.
The West hopes that it could prolong the war in Ukraine and weaken Russia by continuing to pump weapons into the hands of Kiev forces.
Send the captured western ordence to North Koria . Im sure the military there can test and develop on the equipment and it may be of use against any nato attacks from the japs
Better send it to 10.000 Asian/African/Mid East refugees in Belarus to help them to fight vs Polish border guard
So far the fight at the Polish/Belarus border was won by the Polish border guard. Now, they are even better prepared with special wall built there. Moreover, Belarus is still dependent on Poland as quite a lot of trasnportation from Belarus goes throug the Polish border town of Kuznica. So they have to be cautious.

Like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A QUART OF WHEAT FOR A de·narʹi·us and three quarts of barley for a de·narʹi·us; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine”- Revelation 6:6.
Note, food would become very expensive, 2 pounds of wheat for a denarius which was a days wage in bible times. Don’t even think about buying olive oil it says.
We are in the end of times for this old wicked system. We need to stay awake because he will come as a thief in the night, Jesus said. Read the bible , pray for God’s kingdom to come, seek out those that have faith.
Don’t be caught sleeping.Those calling on the name of Jehovah and have faith in Jesus will be saved, says Romans is 10:13-17 ” For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” 14 However, how will they call on him if they have not put faith in him? How, in turn, will they put faith in him about whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? 15 How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent out? Just as it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who declare good news of good things!” 16 Nevertheless, they did not all obey the good news. For Isaiah says: “Jehovah, who has put faith in the thing heard from us?” 17 So faith follows the thing heard. In turn, what is heard is through the word about Christ
Only God’s kingdom can bring an equitable human society with plenty of food and plenty of good things for all.
Pray for God’s kingdom to come and God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
You sad sorry brain dead moron with your iron age fairy tale B.S.!
You sound like a Jew to me. Trying to destroy the Seed of the Woman as foretold in Genesis. You won’t be able to do this.
Yahweh is a Jewish invention and a very demented being. Fuck off with abrahamic filth and let us be in peace.
In John chapter 8, Jesus practically called Abraham a liar.
and send the money of the digitalized slaves of Nazis to Swisserland to octagon ( ?? ) its a chineze jew nazi technotron of PARAZITES !!!!!
“Out of Russia again comes the hope of the world”
Edgar Cayce the sleeping American prophet 1932
The US dominated by British malthusianism is committed to destroying Russia by destroying Ukraine. The West does not care about Ukraine’s people; they prove it by pumping it full of war materials not even caring where it winds up. The militants in Ukraine are much like the mujahideen of the 1980’s in Afghanistan. They became the terrorist group Al Queda sponsored by the British-Saudi slush fund for international terrorism “Al Yamama”. This was the foundation for 9/11/01 which was used as the excuse for creating the perpetual war policies we have today. Go to #thelaroucheorganization.
These Russian and possibly Iranian engineers working overtime with the reverse engineering
Russian weapons are proven to be far superior to any western/cia overhyped duds (period)
They may be used in several circumstances,but never top priority seens they are not near as reliable:
They don’t need to do reverse engineering of a scrap javelin they have much advanced military equipment as nato and usa, that would be like you trying to do reverse engineering on 368 PC
Lots of good stuff to give the cartels on the Mexican border.
The Javelin’s CLU is the most valuable piece of equipment captured, it’s the reusable part of the system, it can be used as a night vision system, and if it’s the latest version of the CLU then the Russians (or the Chinese) can try to copy its aiming system and decipher its GPS communication system.
yes, but before send them to china and iran for reverse engineering and copying in the ten thousands.
Russia has better ways,usa is ineffective against Russian gear,proven (period) china may copy,but
all this hype about american innovation is only limited to small pox disease and scams nazo(period)
THE Cokehead Clown of Kiev keeps preaching ” all he needs are weapons.” Why isn’t he winning?
Because most of these weapons never make it to the battlefield. Their stolen or bombed. And what makes it to the battlefield are junk. They dont work. UKRAINE is corrupt to the core. But I hear their whores are beautiful.
Not bad to have as last resort backup,in the event your out may not work proper,but atleast its a gain.
Christmas came early, thanks US & lapdogs :)
These assorted ATGMs and manpads should be shipped over to French MUJAHIDEEN & yellow vests , to the remnants of active IRA militants in UK, and to the Mexican cartel to defend its merchandise from DEA.
This is a joke? 60,000 AT weapons..for what? 80% of it will have their serial numbers scrubbed and appear in the black market… Next time you go to the turkish barbers somewhere in EU don’t be surprised to see a few decorating the walls…..Thanks.
Russian forces would have no tanks or other armoured vehicles if 60,000 anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles were the answer. Either the weapons don’t fire properly, aren’t accurate, don’t explode effectively, or, are ineffective against Russian vehicles. There are reports Russian tanks survive multiple hits by these rockets. I haven’t seen many captured Carl Gustav recoilless rifles.
Let’s say of these 60 thousand missiles, 20 thousand were destroyed in rear area warehouses. Another 10 thousand destroyed in forward supply points, plus 10 thousand destroyed at the front in attacks on AFU positions. It still leaves 20 thousand actively deployed. Many would be deployed to rear area units near Odessa and Kherson front lines, Dnipro, Kharkiv and Kiev. This should at least provide several missiles per 40 man unit. It should be enough to seriously blunt Russian armour in Donbass.
So the failure is likely in troop training, morale, tactics or leadership. Many captured AFU soldiers report resentment they have been abandoned by their leaders. Conscripts sent forward are given minimal arms and ammo, aren’t given body armour and plates, or even good boots. This suggests they aren’t trusted by AFU command. This is an accurate command assessment after continuous desertions and reserve refusals to report for duty since 2014. This suggests many AFU units are used as bullet sponges. Little better than WWII penal battalions sent to uncover Russian offensive pushes. Then more effective and better armed AFU units move into depth defences behind them.
