Canada’s Strategic Military Support to Ukraine
Canada has recently finalized the transfer of 1,300 decommissioned warheads to Ukraine, marking a significant step in military support. This transfer is part of a larger military aid package that was initially announced last June. The warheads, designed for 70mm CRV-7 unguided rockets, were transported to Poland last month on a C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft before being sent to Kyiv.
These warheads had been out of service for several years, securely stored in Canadian military warehouses. Previously, they were utilized by Canada’s CF-18 Hornet fighter jets during combat operations, indicating a history of military application that underlines their potential effectiveness in the current conflict.
