On July 1, the US announced $820 million in additional military aid for Ukraine, including advanced air-defense systems.
The this the fourteenth drawdown of equipment from the US Department of Defense (DoD) inventories for Ukraine that the Biden Administration has authorized since August 2021. The US has now sent $7.6 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including nearly $7 billion since the start of the Russian special military operation in the country on February 24.
In a statement, the DoD said that the new military aid package will include:
- Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
- Two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
- Up to 150,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition;
- Four additional counter-artillery radars.
The most important element of the new package is the NASAMS short- to medium-range air-defense systems, which the US hope will help Kiev forces defend against Russian missiles and warplanes.
The NASAMS was developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace in cooperation with Raytheon in the US. The DoD thanked Norway for facilitating the transfer of the system to Ukraine.
“The US continues to work with its Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its evolving battlefield requirements. In particular, DoD recognizes Norway’s cooperation to enable the historic provision by the United States of modern air defense systems that will help Ukraine defend against Russia’s brutal air attacks,” the DoD said in its statement.
The NASAMS, which was fielded by Norway in the late 1990s, was designed to defend against drones, helicopters, cruise missiles and warplanes.
The first and second generation of the air-defense system are armed with the AIM-120 AMRAAM, which is designed for air-to-air engagement.
Although the air-to-air range for AMRAAM is estimated to be 75 km for AIM-120B and over 160 km for the latest AIM-120D, these ranges are estimated for head-on encounters by fast moving aircraft at an altitude. The range is reduced to just 30 kilometers when the AMRAAM is launched from the ground.
The third generation of the NASAMS is armed with a variant of the AMRAAM that was especially developed for ground launch, the AMRAAM ER. This version has a range of more than 40 kilometers.
The NASAMS system is built around the AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel X-band, pulse-Doppler radar, which has a maximum range of 40 to 120 kilometers depending on the version. Other radars can be integrated into the system.

The air-defense system will likely be effective against cruise missiles because the AMRAAM and the AMRAAM ER are both equipped with active radar seekers, a feature that gives an advantage when dealing with small aerial targets.
Ukraine will likely use the NASAMS systems to defend the capital Kiev against Russian missile attacks as they will not likely be that effective on the frontline where Russian warplanes are flying on low altitudes and striking from a stand-off distance.
The systems effectiveness against more advanced Russian cruise missiles like the stealth Kh-101, which is usually used in strikes on Kiev, remains in question. It is also unclear for how long these systems will be able to survive the Russian Aerospace Forces’ routine SEAD [Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses] operations.

Jews DESPISE truths, facts and criticism.
The Talmud states the Jesus is presently being boiled in a tub of semen. He criticised the Scribes & Pharisees for their lust after money and position.

The potential with this will be endless. For a lot of detail…… 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗝𝗼𝗯𝟭.𝗰𝗼𝗺
I just produced my dick into your Mothers tight pussy, and you would believe how much she paid me!!
Criticised? The people were with him. He cast the money changers from the temple and he cursed the fig tree, which was an emblem of Judaism and which should have had fruit, and it withered from the root up. Within 70 years the temple of the jewish messiah was in ruins and jews began to promote themselves as their own Messiah. They even had to formulate a malediction for the worshipers to perform to root out the believers from their synagogues.
Dog shit, on fire.
Pope Francis declares Lucifer (Satan) God and Jesus his son! look it up on youtube and watch the liturgy. link didn’t work here

Want to see how the two Caesars was captured , to can understand the fate of some of those NASAMS – an air to air rockets platforms for a country without planes :)
Advanced SAM, aha, just 40 km range and no own missile constructed for NASAMS. “Panzir-SM” self-propelled SAM has the same range and 15 km altitude, 12 missiles (or up to 48 smaller anti-drone missiles) with close to hyper-sonic speed and 2 rapid fire 30-mm guns. It can operate alone, with 1 vehicle, or as a part of integrated anti-air defense. Loading machine of the complex carries 24 missiles (or up to 96) missiles and can launch them. 1 firing vehicle and 1 loader can resists swarm drone attack. That’s what i would call advanced. It’s not mock-up, these machines are in production. Pay attention to new bombastic armored chassis, it’s “Typhoon” series of Kama Automobile Plant.

US buying Norwegian weapons cos their own are so substandard…..
Every 48 hours the U.S. govt. announces an extra 500 million dollars worth of weapons yada yada yada. Come on already its obvious that the U.S. govt. is going to use the war in Ukraine to steal as much money from the imbecile U.S. autistic tax payer. The U.S. is history so they’re going to rob the zombie American people of as much wealth as they can and escape the country just like Zelensky has done with Ukraine. It is the demise of the U.S. empire as the world’s bully and this is what’s best for humanity and even for the American people even though they’re too stupid to understand it. We should all be hoping and praying that Russia obliterates any adversary militarily so that we can be free here in the states as well. Once the U.S. petrodollar collapses, watch all the filthy fuc#$king rats leave this country and escape to Israel, the UK and wherever the f#ck they want to leave I just want them out so we the Americans who actually give a dam about our people can cleanse this sh#$thole of a country and bring back some decency and rule of law. Then perhaps America will become a self sufficient non-militant nation and we will stop meddling in other countries internal affairs because we have a lot things we need to attend to right here at home. Out of all the nations of the world we are currently the last country that should be passing any kind of judgement on any other nation. I see what’s become of this country and it makes me sick to my fu#cking stomach. Glory to Russia….
When Jews run your country, they enjoy ruining your country. And running up the debt just makes the goyim cheaper slaves.
Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. Remember that when you hand over everything that you own to us, it’s because you are standing firm, to protect Oceania from Eurasia. Welcome to 1984.
Russia will double down in finding and destroying this nato supplied equipment. The west is doing all it can to prolong the conflict in Ukraine. Also more British mercenaries arrested by LDPR military units in former East Ukraine being reported by the BBC in London. Let us remind the Western vassal governments that mercenaries are Not covered by the Geneva conventions.
Sure, the ukrops are going to lose eventually. But America never expected to win, they just want to kill Russians and at that they are succeeding. But that’s only the first layer of it. The second layer is the great reset, and at that they are succeeding as well.
At this point they are just sacrificing tens of thousands of people as part of ritualistic sacrifice, to pave the way for the NWO. It’s disgusting and abhorrent.
The us will not stop shipping weapons. Neither will all the allies on which it puts pressure.
The US policy position is to bring Russia to its knees.
Russia would like to pursue its original policy positions and likely hang on to the Southern seaports. That is not acceptable to Ukraine but it is losing combatants of any age rapidly.
That’s what the western governments think of their citizens. They want them poor, shivering, and in debt.
A few Zircons will put them to bed.
Super … Nice … Russia will test theirs SEAD weapons ….take some video and post the destruccion of this ssystem ….

yeah, after snake island there is no buk no pantsir to protect senior Russian operational capability. Lord Putin will be next.
Shame on you Norwegian mod. Russia defended you from nazis and nazism, you guys have minorities on both sides of the border, you guy are always in Russia, vacations every day, cigarettes, food, cars, fuel. Well, shame on you. You are not working for the interests of Norwegians.
