Troll kirjutas:Näh, nüüd olen ma piinlikus olukorras, kuna ei leia selle kohta postitusi enam üles. Ometi on selgelt meeles, et siin kirjutati, et see Egiptuse S-300VM saatmine on pea-aegu kindel ja asi seisab USA otsuse taga asendusrelvastuse tarnimiseks. Võtame siis seda väidet sõjauduna või minu eksitusena.

aero+ kirjutas:Päris muljetavaldav kogus stuffi. Viimasest reast võib välja lugeda et Ukraina saab kusagilt ka S300-d.

Arvatavalt Egiptuse omad. See saab nende eest vastu F-15 hävitajad. Raketisüsteemid väidetavalt juba Ukrainas ka.

Mingit viidet selle väite kinnituseks tal siiski toona anda ei olnud, tundub olema lihtsalt isiklik arvamus, mis ei baseeru praktiliselt millelgi.

The U.S. has given #Ukraine 7,000 Javelin ATGMs in recent months -- which is 1/3 of the entire American stock & will take 1+yr to replace. Also 2,000 Stingers -- 1/4 of the U.S. inventory, which'll take 5yrs to replace.

The Biden administration is poised to dramatically expand the scope of weapons it is providing Ukraine, U.S. officials said Tuesday, with the Pentagon looking to transfer armored Humvees and a range of other sophisticated equipment. [...] Preliminary plans circulating among government officials and lawmakers in Washington also included Mi-17 helicopters, howitzer cannons, coastal defense drones and protective suits to safeguard personnel in the event of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack, the officials said, though they cautioned that it was not immediately clear if all of those items would end up in the final aid package.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby declined to comment. On Tuesday night, after this article was published, another U.S. defense official said the Russian-made helicopters would not be included.

Ukrainian officials also have begun to meet with U.S. defense firms to see how else they might be able to improve their defenses. In one recent example, the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, met last week with representatives from General Atomics, the maker of Reaper and Predator drones, said C. Mark Brinkley, a company spokesman.

Brinkley said Tuesday the company is “currently exploring options” for supporting Ukraine, something that would require U.S. government approval. “We have aircraft available now for immediate transfer,” Brinkley said. “With support from the U.S. government, those aircraft could be in the hands of Ukrainian military pilots in a matter of days.” Such a transfer, Brinkley said, would expand Ukraine’s ability to conduct aerial surveillance of the battlefield and provide “highly lethal strike capabilities not afforded” by smaller unmanned aircraft. Ukrainian pilots already familiar with drone operations would not be “starting from scratch” in learning how to fly them, he said.

In a statement, Markarova acknowledged Tuesday night that she met with General Atomics representatives. “Together with our team, we discussed with General Atomics the prospects of increasing the capacity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the current situation in Ukraine,” she said. When asked what hardware she requested of the company, Markarova’s spokeswoman declined to specify, saying Ukraine would prefer to “surprise Russia on the battlefield.” General Atomics supplies the U.S. Air Force with the Reaper and the U.S. Army with the Gray Eagle, an upgraded version of the Predator that was used widely by the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A senior congressional aide said the equipment to be announced would likely include heavy ground artillery systems to Ukraine, including howitzers.
