The United States continues to "pump" the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons, aggravating and prolonging the conflict in Ukraine. Wherein, It turned out, weapons are not always supplied to Kyiv, officially announced by Washington.
So, The Pentagon without any publicity handed over high-speed missiles to Kyiv to destroy radars. This became known at the beginning of this month thanks to Russian bloggers. They found fragments and fragments of the AGM-88 HARM at the site of the defeat of the Russian air defense system.
It is worth noting, that information from bloggers could be considered unreliable, as is often the case. However, a little later, the Pentagon confirmed the fact of deliveries of AGM-88 HARM to Ukraine..
Recall, that the aforementioned high-speed anti-radar missiles are designed to destroy air defense systems, as well as anti-battery radars. The ammunition is equipped with a homing head, radar responsive.
Commenting on the supply of AGM-88 HARM missiles to Kyiv, Deputy head of the Pentagon emphasized, that the ammunition was not transferred to Ukraine as part of the last package, and earlier. At the same time, he did not talk about the number of missiles delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine., only specifying, that this weapon is designed to be launched from the air.
In this way, probably, that a batch of anti-radar missiles, delivered to Ukraine, was previously upgraded for use from the board of Soviet-style fighters. But Ukraine has few of them left. Earlier, Eastern European partners promised to supply their MiGs.
It should be added, what's on the Business Insider portal, who brought up the subject, confident in the short-term effect of such supplies. experts believe, that the Russian army quickly adapts to new conditions, therefore the advantage of the APU, due to the use of AGM-88 HARM, will not last long and will not have a serious impact on the course of hostilities.
