Today on 8JAN17 I attended yet another conference on the topic of child soldiers, this time at the Stimson Center. The event was broadcast to the public and a recording can be found at this link. Right off the bat, I’d like to point out that Ukraine was left unmentioned in the discussion, as they…
First and foremost I was unable to reach Airtronic for further comment unfortunately. I ran across their booth during AUSA and was thoroughly impressed with how long they’ve come with their RPG program. I took three photos hurriedly. Ed.
