The head of the GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, called on Canada to transfer more than 80,000 CRV7 missiles to Ukraine. They can be utilized. This was reported by Global News.
More than 83,000 CRV7 missiles designed for ground launch are stored in the Canadian Army's warehouse in Dundurn, near Saskatoon. Canada no longer needs these munitions and has hired a private company to dispose of them. However, Ukraine, whose stockpile is rapidly depleting, is in dire need of these missiles.
"It would help Ukraine to resist Russian troops and save taxpayers the cost of destroying them. We hope it will be a win-win situation," Budanov said.
Although Canada is considering transferring the missiles to Ukraine, there are several problems. CRV7s are outdated munitions that have been in use for decades, and they can be dangerous because they can become unstable over time. This poses a threat to both the people who will work with them and those who will transport them.
Ukrainians claim to be in a difficult situation and are willing to take the risk because they are used to working with old ammunition such as CRV7.
