Ever since Russia occupied the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Britain and the United States have been the main suppliers of munitions to Ukraine.

It includes Saxon armored vehicles and Humwees and a large supply of Javelin robots that fight tanks.

Brits and Balts

Just over a month before Russia's major offensive, Britain announced that it was sending a secret number of weapons to combat vehicles.

Shortly afterwards, it was reported that British transport planes went in shuttle traffic to and from Ukraine.

It was later announced that it was, among other things, 2,000 Robot 57, a light anti-tank robot for combating tanks and anti-tank vehicles.

The robot has been developed by Saab-Bofors in Sweden and manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Almost simultaneously, the Baltic countries announced that they were sending armored and anti-aircraft robots.

The Great Offensive

After the Russian offensive in Ukraine began on Thursday, February 24, several countries stated that they would send munitions.

Germany, which had previously said a resounding no to arms deliveries with reference to the country's dark past, suddenly said that they also agree to send weapons.

There are 1,000 anti-tank robots and 500 anti-aircraft robots of the Stinger model.

Ukraine has also used Turkish drones.

They have fired robots from the air at Russian combat vehicles on the Mariken.
