Strela was stolen in Crimea

There are such coincidences. On the one hand, the only significant event of the meeting between Bush and Putin should be the signing of an agreement to strengthen control over man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). On the other hand, the Ukrainian president declares his desire to meet NATO standards. And then the attackers stole the Strela 3M MANPADS from a Ukrainian military warehouse. Here is a demonstration of both the importance of the problem and the state of the Ukrainian army.
