WASHINGTON (AP) — The planes take off almost daily from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware — hulking C-17s loaded up with Javelins, Stingers, howitzers and other material being hustled to Eastern Europe to resupply Ukraine’s military in its fight against Russia.
The game-changing impact of those arms is exactly what President Joe Biden hopes to spotlight as he visits a Lockheed Martin plant in Alabama on Tuesday that builds the portable Javelin anti-tank weapons that have played a crucial role in Ukraine.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Temporary Nuisance! Our Military Stockpiles? While I was in Dodge One of My Buds from the Hash House (E-6) Club was a Zoomie the Air Force had Maintaining Vietnam Era Munitions, Rotating them. Knowing they would eventually be used in a Big Way (In Afghanistan and Iraq). So Now We Need to Make More? Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower Warned Us About will Love It! More US Jobs!

Chip, an E6 can't be a Zoomie. "Zoomie" is a specific Air Force term for a commissioned officer who is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, which long ago earned the nickname "The Zoo".

So all that means is that it's a term misused by Navy term personnel, incorrectly applied to bluesuiters en masse, depite it being solely applicable to those who graduated from the Zoo.

"How many Stinger missiles has the US sent to Ukraine?

That's too much of an incoherent, run-on sentence to make any sense whatsoever. Try expressing yourself in English.

...that's also in the face of Putin's new push to use nuclear weapons on Ukraine. As that evil monster holds no value for human life, I'd say that might be very soon....
