The ministry stressed that “the missiles will play a vital role in the provision of air defence for Ukraine and the protection of its critical infrastructure which is being continually targeted by Russia.”
It is noted that the equipment consists of launchers and missiles and is capable of shooting down air targets, including Russian drones and cruise missiles. The missiles can be used in conjunction with existing Armed Forces of Ukraine capabilities.
