Although the United States launched a war to invade Afghanistan in 2001, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the CIA had good relations with the Afghan guerrillas, providing a large number of man-portable anti-aircraft missiles in addition to funding, thus helping the Afghan guerrillas to fight against the Soviet Union. 202202384/Aviation Horizon/AZ, Ukraine is once again a battlefield similar to Afghanistan, the West has targeted Russia, Russia has launched a large-scale military operation against Ukraine since February 22, according to the latest war situation, Russian troops have taken control of Kharkov in eastern Ukraine, while Russian troops are trying to break through the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
According to the announcement issued by the Ukrainian General Staff Headquarters, the Ukrainian army has shot down two large Il-76MD military transport aircraft of the Russian Air Force, although Ukraine has published relevant war reports, but the Russian Ministry of Defense has not confirmed it. Ukraine has repeatedly boasted of the results of the war, but also to create sadness, previously declared that the 13 Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island vowed to die, but then Russia exposed Ukraine's lies, because the Ukrainian defenders of Snake Island have all surrendered, Ukraine had to delete the praise for the Ukrainian soldiers guarding the island. At a time when Russia launched a strike against Ukraine, the United States continued to arch its fire, and in fact, in addition to the United States, the Netherlands was also the same.
According to the Dutch release, the Netherlands will supply Ukraine with 200 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, a portable anti-aircraft weapon system that can strike low-flying helicopters, fighter jets and transport aircraft. Stinger is a large number of NATO equipped with an air defense weapon system, the Netherlands to Ukraine to aid a large number of air defense missiles, can effectively enhance Ukraine's air defense capabilities, in Russia a large number of helicopters, 200 Stinger air defense missiles can establish a strong deterrent capability, Stinger air defense missile is a launch after the weapon, so it can flexibly strike low-altitude air targets.
In Russia's military operations against Ukraine, Russia has used helicopters on a large scale, and according to Russian releases, It used more than 200 helicopters when it seized military bases near Kiev. Russia uses helicopters on a large scale in many directions, so Ukraine's acquisition of 200 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles will have a huge impact on Russia, and Russia will face many challenges. The Stinger anti-aircraft missile is very mature and is an anti-aircraft weapon system that has experienced actual combat, the weapon is very simple to use, and can be launched after simple training.
Not only did the Netherlands provide Ukraine with a large number of anti-aircraft missiles, but Germany, as a defeated country in World War II, also provided weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, including 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, which were much more than the Dutch 200 Stingers, and now Germany has also begun to arch fire, thus plunging Ukraine into a long period of war. From the perspective of nato-supplied weapons, they are very easy to operate models, and Germany provides equipment such as anti-tank rockets in addition to 500 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, which can enhance Ukraine's counterattack capabilities. Today's Russia is in the Western countries "everyone shouts and fights", so it is facing a lot of pressure.
