US creating net of air defence systems in Ukraine

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh has announced the plans of Washington to assist Ukraine in creating an integrated air defence system of different ranges.

She noted that, in fact, the United States and its allies are already creating an updated air defence network in Ukraine by providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with air defence systems of various ranges.

“We're seeing success with some of the systems that we have given them and I mean we're basically creating, I may be using a bad analogy here but a net of air defence systems of different ranges that allows them to whatever it's the HAWK missiles or the IRIST that the Germans provided or what we are providing today with the four Avenger air defence systems," Singh said in a press briefing on November 10, according to Caliber.Az.

"All of them have different ranges. All of them contribute differently on the battlefield, which makes the Ukrainians effective. I would let them speak about what they feel is most effective on and their usage when they go through them."

Meanwhile, on November 10, Yury Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about strengthening the Ukrainian air defence system with Western weapons. He explained that the Ukrainian military "is gradually reinforcing Soviet-made air defence arms with modern systems."
