in March of 2021...which they used with great success during the early days of Putin's War...(see linked Government announcement, dated March, 2022)...here's an excerpt from that link...btw, w/o the anti-armor U.S. Javelin missiles, etc. along with military intelligence, Putin would have been able to seize Kiev and all of Ukraine quickly.
-------------------
Biden noted that the United States actually started helping Ukraine long before Russia invaded the country. As Putin began to amass troops on the border with Ukraine, "we took the threat of Putin invading very seriously, and we acted on it," he said.
The United States sent $650 million in security assistance beginning in March 2021. This included anti-air and anti-armor weapons that the Ukrainian military has used to great effect, he said. "So, when the invasion began, they already had in their hands the kinds of weapons needed to counter Russian advances," he said.
Once Putin started the war, the United States sent an additional $350 million.
Last weekend, Biden authorized another $200 million to keep a steady flow of weapons and ammunition moving to Ukraine.
The order Biden signed today brings the total of new U.S. security assistance to Ukraine to $1 billion just this week. The latest package is made up of direct transfers of equipment from DOD to the Ukrainian military.
This new package includes 800 anti-aircraft systems and 9,000 anti-armor systems. In addition, the United States is working with allies to identify and transfer longer range anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine, the president said.

Correcting ALL of Baron's misstatements, falsehoods and fantasies would be a full time job for at least two people...fortunately, most of those posts are patently ridiculous and need no response.
