Photos: Ukrainians Are Selling US Heavy Duty Arms On The Black Market – Can Take Out A Tank/Helicopter, Discount Sale Price 30K
Russia is being hit hard by Ukraine‘s Javelin anti-tank missiles. What makes this weapon so powerful? The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates.
However, corruption is the main problem that every country has to fight with and the Ukrainians are no different!
The expensive javelins have allegedly found their way into the black market on the Internet.
Telegram channels have repeatedly reported that military equipment is being sold by the Ukrainians. The sales market is often the Middle East or North Africa.
The information already has more than one confirmation. For example, you can inquire about this ad on the Internet, where you can buy the expensive weapon for a discounted price.

This information surfaced after a local Turkish station reported that The anti-tank weapons and assault rifles that Western countries sent to Ukraine came out of Syria. The arms dealer, who stated that he bought from Ukrainian commanders and brought the weapons to Syria’s Idlib region, quoted a price of 15 thousand dollars for anti-tank weapons, including the US-made Javelin.
The station reports that an arms dealer living in the Idlib region, which is under the control of the jihadist Hayat-Tahrir Al-Sham organization in Syria, offered the weapons he procured from Ukraine for sale via Telegram.
The cost of a Javelin is 178,000 dollars with its ammunition and smart missile launcher system that can lock on the target.
Apart from the Rac 112, which also includes 2 spare ammunition, US-made M-16 assault rifles and a few chests of bullets are among the military equipment the arms dealer brought from Ukraine and offered for sale.
As a reminder, the Javelin is so effective that who the United States sells or gives Javelins to has become a political issue on more than one occasion.

Uh…how do I order a few…I think we are going to need them to counter the Dimocrap destruction of America in the very near future….
and China says we’ll take that, only way they can keep up
Well no kidding. Who believed Ukraine needed the amount of Javs and other hardware for a very limited amount of Russian tanks? Lets see an audit where it went. Won,t hold my breath for that.
Well you KNEW this was only a matter of time.
THey can use them on our soldiers next time some politician decides we need to stick our nose where it does not belong. Which I am sure will be very soon.
Biden can buy all these weapons back at bargain-basement prices and restock our depleted arms inventory. He can then claim he saved billions of dollars procuring this new stockpile of weapons!
As long as JOE BIDEN gets his 10% him and scumocrats don’t care.
I doubt Javelin missiles in working condition will go for fifteen thousand dollars.
I would expect them to go for a half million at minimum, more likely a million.
They would be an especially hot item, meaning every police force, secret service and terrorist organization on the planet would be trying to get their hands on it, and there wouldn’t be any limit to what they would do to get it.
This would be extremely dangerous to anyone that has it in their possession.
You can buy them cheaper from the Taliban
