The Ukrainian military, which is fighting Russia, is facing a major crisis due to a lack of sophisticated weapons and technology. The world powers have now announced that they can help Ukraine to address this shortfall. It is known that all the weapons needed for Ukraine are being smuggled.
The United States has announced that it will provide Ukraine with long-range missile defense and switchblade armored drones. These weapons will enable the Ukrainian army to defend from a distance against Russian aircraft and armor. It is understood that all the new weapons announced by President Joe Biden will soon arrive in Ukraine.
Ukraine has the capability to shoot down Russian aircraft and missiles at relatively short distances. However, Ukraine does not have the capability to attack very long-range targets. The United States has announced that it will provide new weapons as a solution.
According to a report available from a military source, these systems are known to be similar to the Soviet and Russian-made S-300. It will be a fully automated, ground-based radar-missile launcher unit similar to the US-made Patriot system. This system will be able to detect, track and shoot targets. Ukrainian soldiers already know how to operate the S-300.
The United States may supply Ukraine with 100 switchblade drones. Such drones, equipped with surveillance cameras and equipped with remote-controlled flying bombs, can be deployed at Russian bases. Switchblades, known as ‘comicase drones’, may be capable of launching powerful attacks on Russian bases. It is said to be a better weapon than the guided heat-seeking missiles used by the Ukrainians against Russian tanks.
The United States is also supplying 800 Stingers, infrared anti-aircraft missiles that can be carried on the shoulder. The United States provided such stingers to Afghan soldiers in the 1990s to shoot down Russian helicopters. It can be used effectively against Russian helicopters and slow-flying fixed-wing fighter jets.
Western allies have already supplied the Ukrainian military with 17,000 light-weight, self-guided missiles. These are very helpful for land warfare. These can be used very effectively to destroy enemy armored vehicles.
