Integrated into a new air defense: it became known for what the US is transferred to Ukraine AIM-9M missiles

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the Air-Air Class Missiles were integrated into a new PPO complex. Sidewinder could integrate it. During the meeting of the Ramstein Contact Group, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced a new military assistance package for Ukraine. It will include AII-9m Air-Air-Air Class rockets. This was reported by the US Defense Ministry. Ukraine will receive another $ 200 million military assistance package.

It will include UAV shells, anti-tank missile systems, UAVs, and AIM-9M missiles. This is no longer the first supply of ammunition to Ukraine, but it was unknown where AIM-9M was integrated at Lloyd Austin meeting that AIM-9M missiles were intended for the Ukrainian air defense system. In the near future, this unnamed complex will be transferred to Kiev. Therefore, the assumption that the rocket was integrated into Soviet air force fighters was not confirmed, they write in Defense Express.

The integration of airline airline is not news for the US, experts continue. The AIM-9 rocket is included in the NASAMS SCR in AIM-9x Block II and MIM-72 Chaparral. The latter was adopted in 1969. AIM-9D is used there. In order to integrate the system, it was necessary to change and facilitate the design. The Chaparral Complex could beat the targets within 5 km at an altitude of 4 km. The AIM-9M rocket has a greater range of homing head.
