The condition of the us administration not to place the Javelin on the battlefield is dictated by the desire to keep these weapons.

American Javelin anti-tank missiles which have already arrived in Ukraine, must be deployed on the line of contact in Donbas for deterrence, not stored in warehouses hundreds of miles from the front.

Appropriate permission must be granted by the us administration, said the former assistant Secretary of defense for Ukraine, Russia and Eurasia, now a senior Director of the Penn Center Biden, Mike carpenter, writes UKRINFORM.

“The administration trump needs to allow Ukraine to deploy a new anti-tank weapons at the front, and not to insist that it was kept under lock and key in Western Ukraine. What’s the point?”, the expert noted.

However, he added a link to the article published on the website of the Atlantic Council about the supply of American anti-tank systems Javelin to Ukraine, where also are his quotes.

In the publication, in particular, it is noted that the condition of the us administration not to place the Javelin on the battlefield is dictated by the desire to keep these weapons intact. At the same time, according to carpenter, “storage of anti-tank missiles hundreds of miles from the front lines negates the main purpose of the use of these weapons as a deterrent and greatly reduces its effectiveness”.

The expert stressed that “the essence lies in the fact that the enemy have to think twice about the number of victims”, which would cause modern anti-tank weapons.

Earlier it became known that the US defense budget provides for Ukraine assistance in the amount of $ 350 million. In the list of possible supplies, among other things, was hit by anti-tank missiles Javelin. They had to provide, assuming that they will be used away from the contact line, so that those do not fall into the hands of militants.
