The Ukrainian military is already using foreign NASAMS and Iris-T air defense systems in combat operations. Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received Hawk air defense systems from abroad.
This was announced on the air of the telethon by the speaker of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat.
He said that the received American-made equipment will soon be on combat duty.

In the middle of last month, Ukraine received four such complexes from the Spanish allies in the middle of last month. Kiev expects two more in November. In addition, the Americans promised to send missiles to the APU for the received systems.
Today ends the 268th day of the special military operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The Russian army is delivering powerful strikes on Ukrainian military facilities and infrastructure.
In particular, a logistics facility in Odessa, a large industrial enterprise in Dnepropetrovsk, gas fields and other facilities were affected by Russian strikes yesterday. A significant part of Ukrainian settlements faced frequent power outages.
Judging by the fact that these strikes have become a big problem for Kiev, its air defense has demonstrated its weak effectiveness.
