Ukraine has received its first delivery of NASAMS air defence systems which will "significantly strengthen" its armed forces, Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Monday.
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said last month the United States was accelerating the shipment of the sophisticated NASAMS systems to Ukraine after a devastating missile barrage from Russia.
"Look who’s here! NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine!," Reznikov wrote on the Telegram messaging app, thanking Norway, Spain and the United States for the shipments.
"These weapons will significantly strengthen the #UAarmy and will make our skies safer."

LOL, it takes 'years' to train people to operate this system? Right
The reason why Ukraine has been invaded by Russia is because weak Joe Biden and NOT Donald Trump is in the White House.
Russia / Putin feared how Trump would have responded so they never would have invaded Ukraine.
I can only imagine if Trump was forced to respond in the way the Russians feared, his response would have likely been detested even more than what Biden is presently doing (which is too little and too late) - unless you’re a hypocrite.
If you’re doing this out of pure politics, focusing on Joe Biden’s weakness and how it has helped Putin make the decision to invade is where the problem started. That’s how we got to where we are.
Those weapons being sent to Ukraine had already been destined to be targeting Russian troops decades ago. Only difference is, the 75,000+ Russian troops killed in Ukraine were killed by Ukrainians and not by American troops.
I never switched and supported the Viet Cong because a Democrat was in the White House and I’m certainly not going to switch to supporrt the Kremlin simply because Joe Biden is in the White House today.
Pentagon said it took 3 weeks to train Ukrainian crews to operate the HIMARS and two weeks to learn maintenance.
But at the time, the Pentagon said it would take some three weeks to train teams to operate them, and another two weeks for maintenance.

You expect us to actually believe that, Comrade Kazan?
I’m still a little miffed about the Mexican cough but whatever. Yeah, the US military was 10,000 miles from home in both cases (on the Russian border in one case) being responsible for what 2-3 million deaths over a total of 15 years trying to keep that first domino, 10,000 miles from us, from falling. Yes, they did give inferior weapons to their treaty partners which resulted in Americans dying. Of course, as you insist can’t happen in Ukraine, we killed many, many Russians manning those weapons. Compare that to this situation. The greatest offensive military behemoth the world has ever seen is sitting on the Russian border, a days tank ride from Moscow, preaching regime change in Moscow. That machine’s technology which make theirs trash is currently killing tens of thousands of Russians, including Russian civilians, on their border and in Russia. We have no treaty obligation, we have never been threatened by their Uke moves. We have no reason to be there other than the regime change in Moscow we preach. But no, you and the globalists have decreed the Russians can not react to potentially their LAST domino falling, on their border, 300 miles from Moscow. Media addled vapid empty headed thinking like this will result in WWIII.
Russia is bad. That’s all you need to know. If you do not know that it’s YOUR responsibility to do research, I am not your school teacher.
Most of my Ukraine war news info comes from outside the US because I simply do not trust the info given out by this White House and its media.
If you have to ask a Freeper why Russia is bad, you’re not worthy of a response. TBH
“Russia is bad”
Yep, there is a ‘Russia is bad’ KoolAid flavor out too.
The Left has long been asserting such, you know, since 2016.
Apparently, your are a fake Freeper who has gladly drunk from the same Leftist KoolAid.
Research?
How about research how many years the US has been at war since 1776 and get back with me.
and in how many of those wars did the US try to wipe a country off the map or try to annex its territory?
like Russia is doing now?
Apparently, your are a fake Freeper who has gladly drunk from the same Leftist KoolAid
But it is YOU who is parroting what AOC has been running around the country saying.
Is left now right and right is now left?
Your answer would be answered once you did the ‘How about research how many years the US has been at war since 1776 and get back with me’ research, resident of Canuckistan.
You how that Canuckistan war bond drive coming along?

Who parroted ‘Russia is bad’?
Yeah......
“I’m still a little miffed about the Mexican cough but whatever.”
You’ll get over it eventually.
Russians were directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and our European allies during the Cold War. Now they’re reaping what they’ve sown.
“The greatest offensive military behemoth the world has ever seen is sitting on the Russian border, a days tank ride from Moscow, preaching regime change in Moscow.”
NATO couldn’t mount an invasion of anyone right now.
L
“Pentagon says”! Man, you’re better than that. Yes, the Ukes can be trained to drive, load and press the button. Are they using Ukrainian F-35s or just Uke pilots flying US jets. Do you really think the Russians are stupid enough to believe “Pentagon says” too? It’s kinda depressing to see just how powerful the media is.
no doubt you voted for your Fetterman and Shapiro today....
How many times did you vote?
you trolls should post on another site.
“NATO couldn’t mount an invasion of anyone right now”
THAT, is Black Congressional Caucus level stupidity. Good Grief, Good Lord and Goodbye.
Uh, no...I voted this morning for Mastriano and Oz. But thanks for asking.
—> Just a thought, who is manning these weapon systems, I
SWAG: operated by former trained military, who are now contracted.
“ and in how many of those wars did the US try to wipe a country off the map or try to annex its territory?
like Russia is doing now”

I’m guessing the Canadian schools are very limited in their teaching of US history. Your ignorance of that history of territorial expansion is near total. Read some history books… educate yourself. Just sayin’.

Articles last week said week have some troops in Ukraine
