KYIV, Nov 22 – The U.S. AirTronic firm has received a license and is already supplying Ukraine with the PSRL grenade launcher, a lethal weapon that is manufactured in the United States.

The weapon is a modernized version of the rocket-propelled grenade launcher RPG-7, the Washington, D.C.-based U.S.-taxpayer funded Voice of America (VOA) said on Wednesday.

AirTronic's Chief Operating Officer Richard Vandiver told VOA that his company began cooperating with Ukraine two years ago, and the first batches of the weapons were shipped to Ukraine in 2016.
