NATO Considers Sending Ukraine More Air-Defense
NATO allies are considering other options besides a no-fly zone that would help Ukraine continue to put up a tough defense of its airspace, which remains contested more than two weeks into the Russian invasion.
This aid could include types of Soviet-era surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems that Ukraine already uses, which will make it easier for the Ukrainian military to operate and maintain them.
Two of the more prominent types of military aid that Ukraine has asked for ― MiG fighter jets that are in the inventory of several NATO air forces and U.S.-made Patriot missile systems ― have been ruled out at this time.Â
Do you support NATO sending Ukraine more air-defense systems?
