According to a CNN report, the supply of NASAMS between the US and Ukraine can be announced this week. Along with this, apart from artillery, ammunition and counter battery radar will also be provided to Ukraine. No timeline has yet been announced for the delivery of NASAMS. However, it may take a long time for the Ukrainian military to adapt and train with this system. The US has already announced that it will provide only weapons, economic support and intelligence to Ukraine. No soldier from America will take part in the war against Russia.
US NSA Jake Sullivan confirmed
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has confirmed that NASAMS is being supplied to Ukraine. He said that I have seen the specific report about the Advance Air Defense System that America is preparing to deliver to Ukraine. I can confirm that we are indeed in the process of finalizing a package that includes advanced air defense capabilities. I will not go into the details of the system. I will wait until the contract is actually completed. He said the package is exactly what President Joe Biden has told G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
US gave $450 million in military aid last week
Last week, the US gave $450 million in military aid to Ukraine. The package also included four more M142 high mobility artillery rocket systems, 18 patrol boats, and 36,000 rounds of 105mm howitzer ammunition, as well as tactical vehicles, small arms, and more. Ukraine had killed 40 soldiers, including a colonel of the Russian army, a day earlier in an attack by the same rocket system. America’s M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System is equipped with a variety of weapons, which also have different ranges.
Kyiv will become a fort, Russian missiles will be deactivated
It is believed that Ukraine will deploy NASAMS from America to protect Kyiv. Through this system, an attempt will be made to protect Kyiv from the threat of Russian missiles. NASAMS has been developed jointly by the US and Norway. This missile system has been in the US military since 1998. It is designed by Norway’s Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace, while manufactured by Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace and the US’s Raytheon Missile and Defense together. The effective firing range of this missile system is 30 km, while the flight altitude is 21 km.
