On August 19, the United States announced a new $775 million military aid package for Ukraine.. But in addition to MLRS and ammunition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in dire need of NASAMS air defense systems.. According to preliminary information, the United States will be able to transfer them to Ukraine no sooner than in two to three months.. Military journalist Caitlin Doornbos writes about this..
Referring to her own sources in the Pentagon, she said that air defense systems for Ukrainian soldiers should be expected in October-November.. The reason for the delay is quite simple: compared to the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, which is transferred directly from the available domestic stocks of the United States, NASAMS first needs to be manufactured. In addition, Doornbos notes that they must be purchased for Ukraine officially..
Recall that on July 30, the United States announced that it had begun the purchase of Norwegian NASAMS air defense systems.. It is assumed that the States may transfer some of them to Ukraine, as Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov announced in early July..

Russia, as always, relies on the power of money, propaganda and fear.
