No missiles, but an awful lot of grenades and anti\u002Dtank rockets
Probably the most famous weapon of the Russo-Ukrainian War thus far has been the Javelin, an American shoulder-mounted “fire and forget” missile designed to automatically lock onto enemy tanks and destroy them from above. The 1960s-era M72 is at the other end of the technological spectrum; it’s a one-time-use, shoulder-mounted tube that fires an unguided rocket out the front. Even if it doesn’t have any electronic gizmos, the M72 can still be very deadly in ambushing convoys.
The Department of Defence didn’t specify what kind of grenades they’re sending to Ukraine, but Canadian soldiers typically use the C-13, the Canadian designation of the American M67. Grenade technology hasn’t changed all that much since the First World War, but this grenade is very intentionally shaped like a baseball on the premise that U.S. soldiers would probably have an easier time throwing it.
