Ukraine has started receiving Harpoon anti-ship missiles from Denmark and self-propelled howitzers from the United States, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said on Saturday, saying the arms would bolster forces fighting Russia's invasion.

"The coastal defence of our country will not only be strengthened by Harpoon missiles – they will be used by trained Ukrainian teams," Reznikov wrote on his Facebook page.

He said Harpoon shore-to-ship missiles would be operated alongside Ukrainian Neptune missiles in the defence of the country's coast including the southern port of Odesa.

After launching its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russia imposed a naval blockade of Ukrainian ports, hampering vital grain exports.

It has also used its Black Sea fleet to launch missile attacks against Ukraine, which has since started receiving Western military aid.

Reznikov said the supplies of Harpoon missiles were the result of cooperation between several countries, saying the deliveries from Denmark took place "with the participation of our British friends".

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday that Denmark would provide a harpoon launcher and missiles to Ukraine. read more

Reznikov said Ukraine had also received a range of heavy artillery pieces, including modified U.S.-made M109 self-propelled howitzers that will allow the Ukrainian military to strike targets from longer distances.

Last month, a senior U.S. defense official said the U.S. military had started training a small number of Ukrainian troops on using howitzer artillery, adding that the training was being conducted outside of Ukraine. read more

Ukraine has said it wants to secure deliveries of U.S.-made long-range M270 multiple-rocket launchers (MLRS) and use them in repelling Russian troops in the east of the country.

The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile that uses active radar homing and flies just above the water to evade defences. It can be launched from ships, submarines, aircraft or coastal batteries.

Russia says its forces are on a special operation to demilitarise Ukraine and rid it of radical anti-Russian nationalists. Ukraine and its allies call that a false pretext to invade Ukraine on Feb. 24.

LOL @ thinking Russia needs warships for a blockade.

Russia has the highest number of submarines in the world and I’m sure they have about 10 submarines in the Black Sea. And that’s more than enough for total blockade. Heck, Russia also has submersible stealth corvettes (the only country in the world with the tech) that they can use.

And how’s harpoon going to stop subs? Lol

Clueless propagandist with zero knowledge of military.

All these media noise about US weapons. US weapons have proven to be useless in this conflicts. Starting from hyped NLAW to howtizer to brainstorm missiles to various tanks even the nuptin missile still Ukraine is blocked, their soldiers are dying, captured, surrendering or running away/ deserting in thousands. Now harpoon missiles. Its will still be like other hyped weapons with zero effectiveness.

why you african like eating in japanese and chinese restaurants ? we do not want to eat with you . go away. eat your amala , fufu and pomo in your roaside eatery shacks, will you ?

we east asian use chopsticks. you guys use bare fingers. if you eat in our restaurants, our customers will be scared away. all the VIP customers are east asian. we do not care to do your business.

go to the gutter and eat your own food with fingers.

say hi to your brothers

igbesachick:



funny byatch. you always split the hair. you take 1 exception to prove what you say.

in america, 13 % population are blacks , but they contribute 58% crimes in the whole country. you think you can say asian are the same violent by simply enlisting 1 crime case done by asian ? of course, you can always find one. asian are not zero crimed.

arguing in this way only proves you blacks are inferior, lacking basic logic. or maybe you know you split the hair, but you also know this is the only way to argue with an asian. because you black lose in all aspects before asian .

when we show you 1000 crime cases done by blacks, you show me 1 done by asian. and you think we are equal. as you say, every race has criminals. dont you see how ridiculous you are ? you have 300 million HIV cases in africa, we china only 0.3 million. and this equal again ? only 3 or 5 chinese men fvck african female, you say all we chinese think you are sexually desirable ? only some japanese kids curious for your hairatyle , and you say african are popular among asia ?

maybe under West political corretness, all races are equal. but this is said by white race. they force their idea onto other races. and this is exactly racist and unequal. we chinese race do not give a shit to West political correctness. we call a spade spade. the whites pamper you blacks, that is their business. we chinese race do not think or do as the whites. we do not pamper you blacks. we think you are crininals, ugly, dirty, stupid, violent, lazy, greedy, and always wanting to have sex with chinese girls in order to inject your inferior DNA into our superior race (to let us take care of your progeny ) .

of course you are proud of your 20cm big dick, that is the instrument by which your race disseminate your inferior DNA into other races, in order to make the next generation of your race brighter, whiter, less violent ,with longer life expectation. you have to worship your dick. to you, your dick is as holy as the white race (the receiving party of your sperm and DNA).


the last word for you blacks , listen carefully. we asian race are not caucasian. we have never enslaved you blacks. we owe you nothing. we do not have anything to do with
you. fvxk off. and dont mess with us.

leofab:
I can see you pains in your heart.. sorry my Chinese friends.. Asians are subhumans are racists; breeding like Guinea pigs; thereby depleting the earth scarce resources.. take time and explain to your people to stop hating the blacks; we didn’t enslave you guys nor take your cities (Hong kong n Taiwan) from you.. there is only one race and that’s the human race.. we are all one and brother in purpose.. I love you bro..

me , eating your nigger food with my fingers. you guys treat a white man like a celebrity, not to mention a white man who insists eating like a local . but i need to make no fuss. if i show self-consciousness when eating with fingers, you niggers will mistake i am mocking you.

you have such a strong inferiority complex. you need a white man to eat with fingers, in order to make you feel equal with normal hunan beings.

these photos were shot in 2014, my first time in nigeria.

keep enjoying. i have shot thousands of photos in my 5 trips to nigeria. in the future posts, you may see how your country and rqce are viewed from the eyes of a white man.

no more internet images, now taste some real stuff. in the future posts, i will show you how i am robbed in nigeria, how you nigeria slaves are toiling in my chinese factory, and how your boys and girls are supported by my colleagues. and how your corrupt police extort money from me.....and more....

BTW, in you twisted mind, you probably feel proud when you see i am eating like a nigger. you do not see the insult. i use my fingers only for your food, because i want to go local. i need to be cosmopolitan . when i was traveling in india, i tried scrub my shit with
my bare fingers. we white ppl call this "culture awareness and respect".

leofab:
from the pictures posted; you actually looks malnourished is that the reason for your frustration.. you decided to go local for the fun of it.. we stil Chinese locals who still run around naked . Doesn’t mean we should equate China as primitive people.. like I said early let love lead… we are all humans; Chinese; African or Caucasian are mere temporal segregation.. one day Nigeria will grow to be a world power; and will be giving loan to Chinese and building infrastructure too.. but for now let’s go to church and pray.

2017, eating your amala shit in a roadside shack with my boys. they gteeted my third time return to nigeria, but of course i paid the bill.

this fat one kept asking me to take his sister, "only 2500 naira , you can fvxk her". i did not want to fvck any smelly black cvnt. but i kept negotiating with him, for fun's sake.

finally i said i do not have so much cash. he asked me how much i had. i had 200 naira after i paid the food. he said 200 is ok too. it is a deposit, i can pay the rest later.

i denied him.

and , before we departed, we past a store, he asked me to buy a can of milk for him. i asked him why ? he said milk is nutritious. of course i know milk is . but why would i
buy for him ? for trying to sell his sister to me ?

leofab:
but you enjoyed your meal ? He is just generous to you.. we don’t hate race like the Chinese.. we are good and godly people and very accommodating.. one day the Chinese will element the advantages of being nice to strangers.
