They can indeed use your help against the almighty Russia.

In Ukraine is at the moment still not peace and harmony. The political discussion so let me take it for what it is, but earlier we saw how violently in parts of the country is fought. The U.S. provide the Ukrainian government a helping hand to Russia to thwart, and which better way to do it than with a set of all-American Humvees?

Recently there were ten of these trucks’s delivered by the US Air Force. The president of Ukraine, Petro Porosjenko, took them for us in reception and crawled actually behind the wheel of an Arnold-mobile. Incidentally, dropping the delivered cars in the category of ” non-lethal military aid, though it seems to us strong that they used during the Eastern European equivalent of the tulpenrally.

The legerwagens are equipped with armour plating and bullet proof glass. Each Humvee with a turret on the roof, but there seem to be no guns. We trust there but that Porosjenko’s males there a solution for have.

Including Humvees, the total Us aid to Ukraine is estimated at 75 million USD. That help includes drones, communications equipment, night vision goggles and radarspul. In total, there would be a whopping 230 Humvees to be flown, so this is just the tip of the iceberg.
