Looks like the Ukrainians, at least as of today, have NLAW shoulder fired anti-tank missiles which are a hell of a lot better tan the RPGs the Chechens had. Apparently you just need to shoot over top of the tank, and don't need direct line of sight. There a some videos up on twitter of them in use.


They have Javelins, too. But, conversely, Russians aren't going to just send their armor ahead without infantry and let it be slaughtered.

I think the most salient question is whether Ukraine can maintain the effectiveness of its anti-air long term.


Yeah, that for sure remains to be seen. I really hope they can pull it off and repel the invasion before neighboring states get drawn in.
