An echeloned air defense system – the Pentagon – will be created in Ukraine
Washington will help Ukraine create an echeloned air defense system. It will consist of systems of different ranges. This was announced by the press secretary of the US Ministry of Defense Sabrina Singh.
During her speech at a press briefing, Singh emphasized that the air defense systems that the allies are transferring to the Armed Forces have different ranges of operation. Some systems have already managed to successfully prove themselves in business. After the deployment of the air defense system is complete, it will be able to solve any tasks.
What air defense systems has Ukraine received?
The British government handed over AMRAAM missiles to the Armed Forces. They are used in NASAMS complexes. Ukraine received two such complexes from the USA. The government of the Netherlands handed over a batch of missiles worth EUR 15 million to the Ukrainian army.
Avenger
The IRIS-T complex provided by Germany repelled at least two missile attacks by the occupiers. In the first case, he managed to intercept 90% of the missiles, and in the second – 100%.
HAWK
Last week, the White House announced a new defense support package. It included mobile Avenger complexes capable of hitting air targets with Stinger missiles, as well as Spanish Hawk air defense systems.
