🇨🇦 Canada is considering the transfer to Ukraine of CRV7 air-to-ground missiles (NAR for helicopters) of Canadian development in the early 1970s, which were planned to be disposed of — CBC

There are 83,300 such missiles on the balance sheet of the Ministry of Defense of Canada.

It is believed that as many as 8,000 of the rockets still have warheads in good condition.

A spokesperson for Defence Minister Bill Blair confirmed the government is considering donating the rockets.

"Before sending equipment to Ukraine, we coordinate closely with Ukraine to ensure that any donation would meet its military needs, and we examine the operational effectiveness of the equipment," said Daniel Minden in a media statement.

"We are following this same process for the CAF's stock of CRV7 rockets, purchased decades ago.

In particular, we are pursuing testing to ensure that this equipment is operationally effective and safe to transport to Ukraine before any potential donation."
