The United States will transfer air defense systems to Ukraine as fast as possible, said the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, Ukrainian media reports.
“We are going to provide our systems … We will also try to provide additional ammunition for systems that Ukrainian forces are already using,” Austin said.

The head of the United Committee of the Chiefs of the US staff of the United States, Mark Milli, said that among the air defense systems requested by Ukraine there is a HAWK or an improved Hawkeye system. Millie says that this is a system of medium and medium -range. “This is an old system, but it is quite effective,” Millie said
