Tanks, SAU, air defense. How will the Ukrainian army be strengthened by Western partners as a result of Ramstein-7
The Chairman of the Joint Committee of US Chiefs of Staff, Milly, revealed the first details that Ukraine will receive for further defense. Most deliveries have already been non-public in a row, but Millie has announced some details: the United States, along with the Netherlands, will be presented with the upgrading of 90 T-72 tanks. They will be the most capable tanks from the T-72 family. Supplies are expected by the end of December and the beginning of next year.
The tanks will come from the Czech army. The total military aid package, which was announced on November 4, is $ 400 million. In addition, the Armed Forces will receive 250 APC M1117, 40 armored vehicles, HAWK and 1100 Phoenix Ghost drones. M1117 is an APC that came into service with the American army in 1999. It is equipped with a 40mm MK 19 grenade launcher and M2 Browning and M240H machine guns. These are fast and mobile armored personnel carriers that can develop speeds up to 101 km/h.
For the second month, Russian troops continue the missile terror of Ukrainian cities. The massive rocket firing occurred on October 10, and then even larger on November 16 and continued on November 17. Accordingly, Western partners accelerate the supply of air defense. Ukraine became the first operator of the most modern IRIS-T SL air defense complex, which was armed with October 12. The kit shows high efficiency in the whipping of Russian missiles.
Next year, the Armed Forces will receive 3 more complexes for defense of airspace. Also, since November, another modern NASAMS complex has been working in Ukraine-Norwegian-American development. On November 16, it showed 100% efficiency in the fight against Russian rockets. There were 10 launches and all of them became effective. In the United States, 7 more NASAMS SPRs have been announced, but they are expected until 2024. Ukraine will receive these SCRs directly from the plant.
The United States announced the supply of Avenger and HAWK mobile complexes. Hawk was first handed over by Spain. Avenger is a small radius of action, which is mostly supplied on the basis of the armored vehicle Hamvi. It is based on rockets for Stinger MSCs, which showed its effectiveness against air goals. Hawk is an outdated complex, but it can be an effective solution against Iranian drones-Kamikadze.
The cost of such drone is about $ 20,000, and the cost of one rocket of modern SCRs can reach a million dollars. Hawk rockets in the world are much larger and they are cheap. Therefore, for the Armed Forces, this can be an effective solution to destroy UAVs. On November 7, French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecorton announced the transfer of 6 more Caesar. These are mobile SAUs capable of shooting up to 40 km in active reactive shells. The military praised their efficiency.
The fighters use them on the tactics "Bei-Bege" so that the enemy does not have time to destroy the car with fire in response. Yes, the total number of SAU in Ukraine will reach 18 units. In addition, France strengthened the Ukrainian army by the howits of TRF1. The Swedish Ministry of Defense announced the largest military assistance package for Ukraine. It will include air defense and weapons. At the same time, the department does not reject further supplies of the Archer SAU.
The Swedish machine has a shooting range up to 60 km. In the article, an automated fire control system and high accuracy. The Armed Forces will be able to even more effectively fight against Russian troops. US Presidential Advisor Jake Sullivan said the states would support our country as much as needed. "The United States will be with Ukraine as much as it will be needed in this war. There will be no hesitation, red flags, the concessions in our support while we are going forward," Sullivan said.
