Tests of U.S. Javelin to be held before end of May with participation of Poroshenko
Until late May, Ukraine will have been testing the anti-tank missile systems Javelin, provided by the U.S. to Ukraine, representative of the Ukrainian president in the Verkhovna Rada Iryna Lutsenko has said.
"Providing Ukraine with Javelins confirms the weakening of Russia's positions on the international arena. In addition, the president plans to take part in the trials of these Javelins at our military ranges by the end of May," Lutsenko said during the conciliation council of the parliament on Monday.
As reported, Ukraine had requested to buy 210 Javelin missiles and 37 Javelin Command Launch Units, including two CLUs to be used as spares.
On April 30, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko confirmed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had received Javelin anti-tank missile systems from the United States.
