evidence: Russian fakes about the alleged sale of weapons given to Ukraine by partners continued to permeate the public domain. The fake news and disinformation materials they produced varied depending on the context, allowing them more flexibility to shape their narrative about the "black market of weapons" to suit different audiences. One such case is that of Ukrainian Javelins allegedly being sold into the hands of a Mexican Cartel—causing a big discussion within the country. On August 1, 2022, Russian mass media and Telegram channels—with reference to the Mexican TV channel Milenio Televisión—published a video about the alleged sale of weapons provided by Ukraine to a Mexican drug cartel. The video mentioned dozens of American M136 grenade launchers, AK-47 assault rifles, and Javelin ATGMs—which were supplied to Ukraine by the USA. However, after carefully watching the video, it becomes evident that the presenter makes a mistake and calls an M136 AT4 anti-tank grenade launcher a "Javelin". This is an important clarification, since the AT4 grenade launcher has been mass-produced since the 1980s, and the total number of manufactured units currently exceeds 600,000. Considering this fact, it’s entirely possible that the launcher was purchased on the North American "black market" and not shipped from Europe.
