Up to 16 installations, 6 missiles in each: the United States will hand over two NASAMS SPR batteries to Ukraine - the Armed Forces

The process of supplying SPR continues, in the future Ukraine will need more such installations, said in the air forces. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are expected to supply from the United States of two batteries of anti -aircraft missile systems (SAC) NASAMS, which can contain up to 16 starting installations. The weapons transmission process continues. This was announced during a briefing on Tuesday, September 27, the spokesman of the Air Force Command Yuri Ignat reported.

"Our military personnel often communicate with our partners, study equipment that will soon be adopted . . . The process is ongoing," said the PSU representative of the Armed Forces. According to Ignati, this type of weapon cannot be transferred extremely quickly, since a number of decisions and state agreements should be preceded. "The process of transmission is not easy . . . NASAMS is a mobile, has a good wheelbase. Six missiles in one installation.

Such a complex can shoot, curl and change the position, which is extremely important under these conditions," Ignat explained. The PS speaker specified that the United States should transfer two NASAMS batteries to Ukraine, which can have up to eight starting installations, as well as a command post, a radar that will fix the goals. However, in the future it is worth talking about supplying Ukraine to more such SPRs, Ignat stressed.

NASAMS is a mobile anti -aircraft missile complex developed in Norway with the American company Raytheon. The complex is easily adapted for the air defense of the average radius. The systems are currently in service in Australia, Chile, Finland, Indonesia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain. Fire range from the NASAMS complex - from 2. 5 km to 40 km.
