"As Ukraine continues its courageous struggle against the unprovided invasion of Russia, we are writing about the urgent need to support Ukraine's aircraft and help protect its territorial integrity," the appeal reads. American senators noted that despite the already presented Patrio and Hawk and ammunition systems, the American side can and should provide more complexes.
Currently, the US Armed Forces have two Iron Dome batteries - one ready for deployment, the other is currently completing the preparation of new equipment, so there is at least one battery that could be directed to Ukraine. The document also states that each iron dome battery can protect an area of about 150 square kilometers. "Today we can save more Ukrainian lives if we put these batteries.
However, because of serious fears, the Israeli government has blocked the transfer of these batteries to the United States," Senators write. In view of this, they do not ask the Israeli side to transfer these complexes, but to allow the US to transfer their own batteries.
"We ask you to consider other ways to assist, including their movement to another US ally under the control and supervision of our own forces, thereby freeing up other US air defense agents that can be transferred to strengthen Ukraine's defense," the senators have completed. We will remind, about the prospects of providing Israeli complexes about the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov.
