🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 The US State Department has approved a $2.68 billion air-defence military assistance package for Ukraine. The package includes: ▶️Missiles for S-300 air-defence systems. Last month, Robert Hamilton, president of the Delfi Global Research Centre, stated that the United States and Ukraine were jointly working on upgrading S-300 missiles and developing a new version with enhanced capabilities. According to Hamilton, the modernised system is expected to enter service towards the end of 2026, with planned production of 100–200 missiles per year. Work on developing a replacement for the S-300, as well as the R-27, was first disclosed in September 2024 by then US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. ▶️GAM-67 missiles. These are most likely intended for Ukraine’s new Shershen air-defence system, whose listed ammunition includes missiles with a similar designation. ▶️Range-Extended Air Defense Laser Guided Rockets (READ-LGR). These may refer to American APKWS anti-drone rockets, European FZ275 LGR rockets, or comparable systems. ▶️An unidentified mobile launcher designated Improvised Transporter Erector Launcher 1.5. ▶️Mobile launcher modification kits. ▶️RPS-202 radars. ▶️Trailers equipped with telescopic masts. The package also includes technical support, maintenance, spare parts, software and logistical assistance. #info #USA #SAM #S300 #JDAM
