[QUOTE="Adam_Butler, post: 973, member: 18"] With the U.S. embassy partially reopened in Kyiv, defense leaders from around the world met today to discuss sending more advanced weaponry into Ukraine to aid in the fight against Russian aggression. Some of the weaponry mentioned were missiles to shore up coastal defenses and Harpoon Missiles. From the U.S. Navy data fact sheet, the Harpoon is an all-weather system used to target ships. Harpoons fly just above the water, and are considered an over-the-horizon, radar guided weapon. [ATTACH type="full" width="252px" alt="Harpoon Missile"]159[/ATTACH] [B][SIZE=3]Harpoon Missile Image Courtesy of Wikipedia[/SIZE][/B] At the briefing, General Mark Milley was asked about a Marine detail to guard the embassy, which he replied, all forces were withdrawn from Ukraine prior to the invasion and to deploy any service men would have to originate from direct orders from the President of the United States.
