At the meeting, Pentagon Lloyd Austin emphasized the success of the Ukrainian army in the liberation of its territories. The Armed Forces demonstrate skill and professionalism both in defense and in the offensive. The main topic for discussion was the supply of air and anti -missile defense.
"The allies provided air defense systems, but there are more different types of air defense systems, a long range, aircraft against ballistic missiles, winged missiles, drones," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who was also present at the meeting. The United States accelerate the supply of Ukraine to two NASAMS SPRs that have to come to our country by the end of autumn. In addition to them, the UK will hand over land rockets to Ukraine.
Their shooting range is up to 25 km at a height of up to 16 km. The likelihood of defeating Amraam missile is 85%. Missiles can also be used on fighters in AIM-120. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the transfer of anti-aircraft missile complexes to Ukraine. They will be able to knock down low -flying targets, such as drones and winged missiles. According to the French media, it is about the SMRC of the small radius Crotale.
Installation is intended to protect strategically important objects. The CroTale radius is 10 km with a maximum height of 6 km. The maximum speed of the rocket that can be knocked down is 1800 km/h. The purpose of the Crotale SPR can be at a distance of 10 to 19 km, depending on the weather. One installation is equipped with 8 VT-1 missiles. At the same time, it can destroy up to 4 goals. The rate of reaction of the complex is only 5 seconds due to the digitalization of the complex.
The Chairman of the Joint Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the United States, General Mark Millie, said that Western partners consider creating a multi -level system of air defense of Ukraine. It will protect priority objects by combining SMRC, medium and long range. At the Ramstein-6 meeting, Austin stated that "air defense systems will be provided as quickly as it is physically possible.
" "We are going to do everything that in our power, as soon as possible, to help the Ukrainian armed forces to get the opportunities they need to protect the Ukrainian people," Lloyd Austin added. States also stated that they would look for options how to replenish the reserves of anti-aircraft missile systems that are in service with the Armed Forces. In addition to air defense, the Ukrainian army will receive a number of different weapons.
The Armed Forces will receive additional artillery, Western RSSU, armored vehicles and winter equipment. France will convey to Ukraine: at the same time, it is worth noting that there are only 12 MLRS in arms in the French army. And for the production of 1 Caesar SAU in France it takes 30 months, so the Armed Forces will receive self -propelled self -made to order Denmark, on another chassis and with a large ammunition.
