Ukrainian soldiers get to grips with U.S-made Stinger missiles

UKRAINIAN soldiers get to grips with U.S-made Stinger missiles and machine guns.

The footage, obtained from the Territorial Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shows a Ukrainian soldier handling an American-made Stinger missile launcher before the footage shows another soldier loading an American belt-fed M240 machine gun with 7.62-calibre, M13 link ammunition.

'M13' can be seen on the box of ammo. 'M13 link' is a US military designation for a metallic, disintegrating link that is designed for belt-fed firearms that take 7.62-calibre rounds.

The footage then shows an SPG-9 anti-tank grenade launcher mounted on a tripod. SPG-9s were first developed in the Soviet Union.
