Strela/Arrow.

This is coolbert:

With friends like this who needs enemies is the age-old adage!

Germany now after much apparent hesitancy finally releasing weapons as stockpiled to the Ukrainian military. Weaponry when arriving found to be unusable!!

"Sending Obsolete Missiles to Ukraine, Germany Finds Hundreds Too Old to Fire"

As seen at Freeper the article as originally seen at Breitbart.com ^ | 3/4/2022 | NATHANIEL CHARLES.

"Germany’s Defence Ministry has declined to comment after the press learnt on Thursday that around 700 of the missiles they planned to send to Ukraine were found to be so old they had become inoperable. Berlin had planned to send Ukraine 2,700 ‘Strela’ rockets [SA-7] dating back to the German Communist era, as part of the weapons package Germany had prepared to help Kyiv fend off the Russian invasion, but at least 700 have been revealed to be defective, with the boxes they’re stored in being described as 'mouldy'."

SOVIET ERA SURFACE-AIR-MISSILES [SA-7] OF THE SHOULDER-FIRED PEA SHOOTER TYPE. STRELA. ARROW IN RUSSIAN.

Having been warehouse for apparently over thirty years now [were originally the property of the East German Army] and laying dormant these "Arrows" are totally ineffective and irredeemably so!

I recall the Islamic State likewise captured considerable [?] numbers of these missile systems but were also unable to use, the thermal battery (9B17) as unique to the SA-7 having deteriorated to a marked extent.
