Washington will transmit to Ukraine eight NASAMS NASIS-American anti-aircraft systems and ammunition for them, US military officials said in the Pentagon, BBC writes.
Two complexes will arrive in Ukraine in the near future, six more – later.
The American military said that they plan to create a set of counteracting unmanned aviation systems, including the Vampire system and other radar systems, due to a serious threat of drones from Russia.
NASAMS anti -aircraft systems are a serious strengthening of the air defense system of Ukraine not only against Russian bombers, but also against cruise missiles – from Iskander and Points -U to the “calibers”.
On the eve, when Russia inflicted a new massive blow to the country’s energy system, Ukrainian officials said that the IRIS-T system provided by Germany demonstrated one hundred percent result.
