Estonia delivers Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine
VILNIUS (Reuters) -Estonia delivered U.S.-made Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine on Friday, the Estonian defence ministry said.
"At the moment, these missiles are more useful for Estonia's security in defence of Ukraine rather than at a live fire exercise on an Estonian training area," Lieutenant General Martin Herem, Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, said in a statement.
"This is a small step by Estonia in support of Ukraine, but it is a real and tangible contribution to defence against Russian aggression."
The shoulder-operated medium-range missiles guide themselves after launching, allowing the shooter to take cover, according to the ministry.
