Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that the United States has decided to provide Ukraine with NASAMS air defense systems.

" This increases our ability to protect the earth and sky.. Ukraine's victory in the war against a terrorist state will ensure global security for years to come! "

The NASAMS mobile anti-aircraft missile system was developed in the 90s by the Norwegian company Kongsberg together with the American Raytheon. Adopted by Norway in 1994.

NASAMS fully complies with the parameters of a medium-range air defense system or an air defense facility. However, it has a rather significant advantage, in the most modern version of NASAMS-3, developers declare the possibility of intercepting a maneuvering ballistic target.

That is, the complex can intercept missiles of the Russian operational-tactical complex "

It is worth noting that the AIM-120 missile has a very high speed, about 4900 km / h, while it can actively maneuver to destroy even difficult targets.. And most importantly, it was created in order to destroy Russian aircraft, taking into account all their features and capabilities..
