Estonia supplied Ukraine with American Javelin anti-tank missiles

On February 18, Estonia delivered Javelin anti-tank missile systems to Ukraine. This is reported by Reuters with reference to the commander of the Estonian Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Martin Herem.

“This is a small step in supporting Ukraine from Estonia, but it is a real and tangible contribution to the defense against Russian aggression,” said Herem.

According to him, protecting Ukraine is a “more useful” use of Jewels for the security of Estonia than firing them at training grounds during exercises. The number of transferred anti-tank systems is not reported.

Earlier, Lithuania supplied Kiev with Stinger man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems. Permission to supply American weapons to Ukraine was given by the United States. The head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov, expressing gratitude, announced the "centuries-old friendship and strong support" of the Lithuanian and Ukrainian peoples.
