U.S. aims to arm Ukraine with advanced anti-ship missiles to fight Russian blockade

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) – The White House is working to put advanced anti-ship missiles in the hands of Ukrainian fighters to help defeat Russia’s naval blockade, officials said, amid concerns more powerful weapons that could sink Russian warships would intensify the conflict.

Ukraine has made no secret it wants more advanced U.S. capabilities beyond its current inventory of artillery, Javelin and Stinger missiles, and other arms. Kyiv’s list, for example, includes missiles that could push the Russian navy away from its Black Sea ports, allowing the restart of shipments of grain and other agricultural products worldwide.

    “Kyiv’s list, for example, includes missiles that could push the Russian navy away from its Black Sea ports, allowing the restart of shipments of grain and other agricultural products worldwide.”

    What BS! The whole of UKR is on fire–not much tilling and planting of any crop. Zero “crops” are being exported. This is nothing more than a giveaway of US weapon stock. Already the American MIC is saying they can’t replace “given away” stingers and javelins because of computer chip shortages. Great! Give away our weaponry, so we have little or none of it. Brillian Brandon!

    How can “Joe Biden,” a corrupt and compliant Congress, and the Pentagram send more weaponry to UKR, which RUSS promptly incinerates all of it as soon as it’s in theatre? Makes no sense.

    As Sen. Rand Paul has asked: “Where’s the oversight and accountability for all this? Who is getting what? Let’s have these down on paper.” Watch how much of this weaponry being sent to UKR gets sold-off on the black market to terrorists, who will then start blowing ships and planes out of our skies.

    …keep provoking the Bear and these provocateurs will learn that the WH, Pentagram, and Langley, VA are just a precious few minutes away from a hypersonic ZIRCON greeting via silent, prowling RUSS sub:

    Zircon can travel at a speed of Mach 8 – Mach 9 (6,100–6,900 mph.) This has led to concerns that it could penetrate existing naval defense systems. Because it flies at hypersonic speeds within the atmosphere, the air pressure in front of it forms a plasma cloud as it moves, absorbing radio waves and making it practically invisible to active radar systems (Plasma stealth). With plasma stealth, hypersonic-speed and sea skimming technique, intercepting a flying Zircon is extremely difficult, if at all feasible at the current level of technology. The final section of the trajectory will be overcome in a minimum time (under 10 seconds), the enemy will not have time to carry out all the necessary procedures. Zircon exchanges information in flight and can be controlled by commands if necessary.

    …under 10 seconds. Glad to see that he Pentagram and GEN “Magnificent Milley” is spending time and treasure on trans-gender ‘plumbing’ operations on soldiers, anti-white, anti-racism indoctrination on our troops, and not on countering superior RUSS weaponry.

    The whole coast is is a mess of minefields the Ukrainians haphazardly laid . They are drifting even as far as Turkey. The sooner this Bolshevik abomination of a ‘country’ is neutered the better for the world .
