Lockheed Martin-RTX Corporation advertise and sell Javelins like used car salesmen with front sales offices at the US State Department

Editor's note: Romania has secured 263 Javelin missiles ("customer success is our mission") for $80 million from Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation's front sales office the US State Department. Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation also scored big last year on almost a third of a billion dollars worth of Javelin missiles purchased by the militaries of Lithuania and Jordan. Lockheed Martin - RTX Corporation have an impressive sales record good for Wall Street selling Javelins (an alleged poor hit-to-miss ratio) to more than 10 countries over the last several of years. While the US manufactures weapons to sell, Russia manufactures weapons to wage war. This fundamental economic difference between the US and Russia with Russia's military destroying, capturing and stopping Javelin missiles in Ukraine sort of demonstrates this. All the news coming out of western media sources tout the Javelin missiles as "game changers" in this war in Ukraine is nothing more than copy edit junk advertising for Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation to keep their manufacturing going. The "early successes" the Ukrainian military that were reported on using Javelin missiles to stop Russian armor were mostly advertising to keep the weapons flowing into Ukraine.
