"Look who’s here! NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine! These weapons will significantly strengthen the Ukrainian army and will make our skies safer. We will continue to shoot down the enemy targets attacking us," Reznikov noted.

NASAMS is a development of Norwegian and American companies. The complex was developed to replace the MIM-23 Hawk, which was in service with the Norwegian Armed Forces. It is an advanced surface-to-air system.
The launcher consists of six missiles. Each mobile launcher has six containers with anti-aircraft missiles. The firing range of the anti-aircraft system in the NASAMS II configuration using AIM-120C AMRAAM missiles is up to 25 km, and the height - up to 14-15 km.
