LMAO.
At $23 million and a per missile cost of $1-1.2 million, another wasted ‘wunderwaffe’....and only getting TWO.
And non-integrated with any other system(s) to boot.
Inferior spects as compared to Ukraine’s dwindling supply of S-300s.
Double LMAO.
Food for $25K-100K drones.

I bet these are operated by Americans
Is that a wrench in your pocket or are you just thrilled about the additional thousands of deaths? Another minor rung up the ladder of escalation to Armageddon. These, too, will be manned by Americans. How many tens of thousands of Russians can Americans, in Ukraine, using American weaponry kill before Russians begin killing Americans? Would that satiate your bloodlust?

Ukraine's deteriorating air defenses are a much larger problem than the Western media is admitting.
- Ukraine boasts of receiving NASAM systems from the US;
- NASAMS have inferior spects compared to Ukraine’s dwindling supply of S-300s;
- Western analysts admit that if the West cannot resupply/replace Ukrainian air defense systems, Russia will be able to establish air superiority over the country;
- Western analysts also admit that the West is incapable of resupplying or replacing Ukraine’s air defense systems.
Are we going to have anything left for weapons when this is over?
Hopefully they get hit with a hypersonic soon!
You guys can't accept the fact that the Great and Glorious Republic of Russiastan is having its butt handed to it by a second-rate European power.
The air war crimes against the Ukrainian people will be thwarted to the chagrin of those here who promote them
WWIII continues.
no doubt you voted for your Fetterman and Shapiro today....
How many times did you vote?
you trolls should post on another site.
“Well this is going to disappoint the pro-Kremlin crowd...”
Ronald Reagan defeated the Evil Empire. These days we have alleged conservatives at FR who line up to kiss its ass. What would Reagan make of this idiocy?
NASAMS are simply AIM-120 (AMRAAM) A-A missiles repurposed as SAMs and packaged in a mobile launcher. Normally an AMRAAM is launched from a fighter which is already traveling near or beyond supersonic speed in the general direction of the target.
Launching at zero altitude and zero initial velocity means the engagement envelope is much smaller. My understanding of NASAMS was always as a battlefield weapon of relatively short to medium range. It simply doesn’t have the reach of the Russian S-series systems.
