We are talking about a contract for the supply of 100 PSRL-1 launchers worth $554. The contract date is November 575, 11, the delivery date is April 2016, 8.
“PSRL-1 (anti-tank hand grenade launcher) is an upgraded version of the Russian RPG-7 anti-tank hand grenade launcher. AirTronic USA launched mass production of this weapon in 2016. The company has developed and now produces two modifications of the RPG-7: PSRL-1 and GS 777 (PSRL-2). The weapon is similar to the RPG-7, but the use of new materials reduces weight, increasing ease of use. The AirTronic USA launcher uses RPG-7 grenades. However, the company is developing guided grenades and increasing the effective range to 2000 m.
In addition, AirTronic USA intends to develop new ammunition for installation. According to some reports, the launchers were delivered to the National Guard of Ukraine, including the Azov regiment. According to the source of information, this delivery was so far an isolated case of the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. However, the contract and delivery clearly violate US law, since US legal authorities have not yet approved the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. Currently, Washington is still considering this option,” the publication notes.
It said some experts suggest the contract may in fact constitute an act of sabotage, part of a broader effort by the former administration to undermine US President Donald Trump and his stated policies towards Ukraine, as well as an ongoing campaign to undermine bilateral ties between the Trump administration and Moscow.
In addition, the authors of the investigation claim that there are documents related to the contract and confirmation of the delivery of a lethal weapon, and say that “any independent investigation of the incident will show that a lethal weapon was delivered and will confirm that a contract exists.”
