Russian air defense troops appear to be using Chinese-designed shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to an analysis by Ukrainian defense outlet Militarnyi of footage aired on Russian state television.
The launchers were shown during an exercise by a mobile fire group of Russia’s 51st Air Defense Division in the Rostov region, in a segment broadcast by the state channel Rossiya 1 and shared on X by the account TheDeadDistrict. Mobile fire groups are small teams, often riding in pickup trucks, that Russia uses to hunt Ukrainian drones with machine guns and short-range missiles.
The soldiers in the report called the weapon “Iva.” But the launcher does not match any man-portable air defense system, or MANPADS, known to be in Russian service, Militarnyi reported Sept. 28. Russia’s own shoulder-fired missiles in current use include the Igla-S and the newer Verba.

Well that’s it, we must go to war with China as well. On a side note, I wonder if Liberals love for forced-conscription Zio Zelensky will unite them behind his love for Israel.

Hey, aren’t you that moron who the other day was defending Marjorie Taylor Greene’s neo-Nazi musings about Jewish space lasers?
All I did was point out she never said Jewish space lasers. Are you one of those propagandists that believes criticism of Israel or Zionisism is antisemitic?
Zelensky wants Ukraine to be “the Israel of Europe”, but he doesn’t actually love Israel, because each bomb we send Israel is a bomb we don’t send Ukraine.
