(Waffe) FIM-92 Stinger

[Quintus Fabius]

Der Nachschub an Stinger wird knapp, und damit meine ich die Produktionsseite. Nachdem die NATO historisch beispiellose Mengen dieses Waffensystems in kürzester Zeit in die Ukraine geworfen hat, müsste entsprechend hier nachgeordert werden. Dies scheitert zur Zeit aber aus technischen Gründen:

It Will Be Years Before Raytheon Can Build New Stinger Missiles

In March, Ukraine said it needed 500 Stingers and Javelin anti-tank missiles per day.

The U.S. has shipped Stingers to Ukraine’s military, which has used them to shoot down Russian aircraft. But there’s only a finite supply as Raytheon has not made Stinger missiles for the U.S. military in nearly two decades.

The company has “a very limited stock of material for Stinger production,” Hayes said, as it's currently building a missile for a sole international customer.

In recent weeks, Raytheon executives have met with Pentagon officials about the issues. Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks met with Raytheon earlier this month, part of a broader Pentagon effort to replenish American weapon stockpiles and arm the Ukrainians.

“We're actively trying to resource some of the materials,” Hayes said of the Stinger parts.

Zeit für einen Festauftrag und eine massive Vorfinanzierung seitens aller NATO Staaten gemeinsam. Speziell auf dieses Waffensystem können wir keineswegs Jahrelang warten !
