After leaking documents on the vulnerability of Ukraine's air defense, the United States provided a package of assistance with surface-to-air missiles
Capabilities of Ukrainian air defense systems protecting troops on the front line could be exhausted by May 23
The U.S. Department of Defense has announced a new round of military assistance to Ukraine totaling up to $1.2 billion.
It will include the supply of missiles and equipment for air defense systems. Previously, the United States sent Ukraine missiles for air defense – Patriot and NASAMS.
At a meeting of the military aid coordination group for Ukraine at Ramstein in April, Kyiv's representatives asked for a faster delivery of surface-to-air missiles.
According to one of them, the Ukrainians are increasingly raising the issue of providing short-range air defense systems because if they use up all their ammunition, it will open the way for russian aircraft.
According to Pentagon leaked documents, the capabilities of Ukrainian air defense systems protecting troops on the front line could have been "exhausted" by May 23, according to a February assessment by the US military.
Background. It was recently reported that the Ukrainian Air Force shot down an X-47 Kinzhal hypersonic missile for the first time. The missile was fired from a MiG-31K and was shot down with the help of the American Patriot system.
