Canada plans to send Ukraine over 80K unarmed small rockets
Canada announced an initial shipment of 2,160 unarmed CRV7 rockets in June. Each CRV7 rocket can be equipped with warheads designed variously to hit buildings, tanks or soldiers.
Canada plans to send 80,840 surplus small unarmed air-to-surface rockets to Ukraine, along with 1,300 warheads, in the coming months, Defense Minister Bill Blair announced in a statement on Friday.
This follows an earlier shipment in June, when Canada provided 2,160 unarmed CRV7 rockets. These rockets can be equipped with warheads designed to target buildings, tanks, or soldiers.
In addition, Canada will donate chassis assemblies from 29 M113 armored personnel carriers and 64 Coyote armored vehicles, which are no longer in use by the Canadian Armed Forces, Blair added.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Canada has pledged C$4.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in military aid.
