Budanov asked Canada for decommissioned CRV7 missiles

If transferred, Ukraine would gain leverage in its confrontation with the Russian Federation, and Canada would save money on disposing of unnecessary missiles.

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, called on Canada to transfer to Ukraine more than 80 thousand CRV7 missiles, which they plan to dispose of. He said this in an interview with Global News.

More than 83,000 ground-launched CRV7 missiles are stored at the Canadian Army’s Dundurn depot, near Saskatoon. Canada no longer needed the ammunition and hired a private company to dispose of it. However, Ukraine, whose reserves are rapidly depleting, needs these missiles.

“This will help Ukraine counter Russian forces and save taxpayers the cost of destroying them. We hope it’s a win-win situation,” Budanov said.

Canada has stated that it is considering the possibility of transferring missiles to Ukraine, but there are some problems. The CRV7 is a decade old legacy round. Second, they can be dangerous because they can become unstable over time. This poses a risk both to the people who will work on them and to those who transport them.

As the publication notes, the Ukrainians claim that they are in a difficult situation and are ready to take risks. They say they are used to handling older ammo like the CRV7.

“We are not worried,” said Lieutenant General Budanov.

According to Budanov, the CRV7 can be used both with Ukrainian attack helicopters and with ground launchers to destroy Russian tanks and artillery.


The CRV7 is a Canadian 70 mm aircraft unguided missile with a folding tail. It was a by-product of a project to develop high-speed solid-propellant rockets undertaken in the late 1950s by the Canadian Defense Research and Development Establishment (CADRE), as part of the missile defense program.

The Canadian Department of Defense has 83,303 of these missiles.

It was previously reported that Canada will transfer to Ukraine multi-engine inflatable boats with rigid hulls, which will assist Ukraine in various maritime operations.
