The Pentagon announced that the United States will transfer a total of eight NASAMS air defense systems to Ukraine.
This is reported by the website of the US Ministry of Defense.
It is also noted that two systems will be deployed in our country in the near future. We will get six more later.
"The US has handed over eight NASAMS and the corresponding ammunition to them, two of these systems will be in Ukraine in the near future, and another six will be provided later. We have also undertaken to provide means of countering drones, including the VAMPIRE system," said representative of the Pentagon.
They also noted that our state will also receive air defense systems from other countries.
"Germany agreed to provide four IRIS-T systems. They were used extremely well in Ukraine. Spain responded to the call to provide the HAWK air defense system. A number of countries also provided ammunition for NASAMS," the US Department of Defense said.
