США одобрили продажу Украине 210 противотанковых комплексов Javelin

Соединенные Штаты официально одобрили продажу Украине противотанковых ракет Javelin, об этом в четверг сообщил Государственный департамент США.

Агентство по сотрудничеству в области оборонной безопасности сообщило, что Украина попросила администрацию президента Дональда Трампа разрешить поставку 210 ракет и 37 пусковых установок стоимостью около 47 миллионов долларов.

США также предоставят возможности для обучения и перевозки комплексов Javelin.

Профильное агентство Пентагона отметило, что поставка Javelin не повлияет на «базовый военный баланс» в регионе.

Раннее Грузия получила от США первую партию переносных противотанковых комплексов Javelin, на поставку которых власти страны ранее заключили контракт с Пентагоном. Грузия в 2017 году обратилась к США с предложением продать 410 ракет Javelin и 72 командно-пусковые установки (в том числе два командно-пусковых блока), 10 учебных комплексов и 70 зарядов для них. В ноябре Госдеп США одобрил продажу Тбилиси ракетных комплексов на сумму 75 миллионов долларов.

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou ousted after just nine months in office

Legislators toppled France’s government in a confidence vote on Monday 8 September, a new crisis for Europe’s second-largest economy that obliges President Emmanuel Macron to search for a fourth prime minister in 12 months. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him. Bayrou paid the price for what appeared to be a staggering political miscalculation, gambling that lawmakers would back his view that France must slash public spending to rein in its debts. Instead, they seized on the vote that Bayrou called to gang up against the 74-year-old centrist who was appointed by Macron last December.
