BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday the alliance was deploying parts of its combat-ready response force and would continue to send weapons to Ukraine, including air defences, while saying that Russia was trying to topple the Ukrainian government.

"We see rhetoric, the messages, which is strongly indicating that the aim is to remove the democratically elected government in Kyiv," he told a news conference following a virtual meeting of NATO leaders.

Some of the 30 NATO allies announced the type of weapons that they would supply Ukraine, including air defences, he said, without giving details. "Allies are very committed to continue to provide support," he said.

Stoltenberg said NATO was deploying elements of its rapid response force, which is made up of land, air, maritime and special operations forces, on allied territory.

3. If we can deliver a ton of TOW missiles and other anti-tank missiles, they have a chance. That and..

a fleet of missile firing copters with said missiles. Also, more NATO tanks yet that will take time, time they don't have.

8. Wikipedia doesn't list Ukraine as an operator of TOW missiles.

I suspect the Javelin and/or LAW would be the anti-tank missiles of choice and the Stinger the anti-air missile because both are man portable and because Ukraine has previous experience using both. The Stinger also gave the Soviets fits in the 1980s when they invaded Afghanistan.
