To replace Patriot: US will buy NASAMS for Ukraine
Ukraine has received approval from the US State Department for the purchase of a NASAMS battery.
The Pentagon communiqué states that the value of the deal will not exceed $285 million, the funds will be allocated under the US military sales program.
The contractor is Raytheon, whose NASAMS system includes the AN / MPQ-64F1 Sentinel radar, a fire distribution center command post, 12 launchers, encrypted radars, GPS receivers, spare parts, tool kits, auxiliary equipment, and technical support.
The deal does not include the training of Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners, which indicates free specialists as a result of training in other countries or the loss of an existing air defense system.
The Russian Armed Forces have experience in defeating such systems - in February, NASAMS, supplied by Norway, was destroyed.
