The Russian Aerospace Army has an air superiority and can launch unscrupulous attacks on the Ukrainian army, allowing almost all combat operations of the Ukrainian army to be carried out against bombing. Moreover, after the Iranian drone was delivered to the Russian army, the bombing operation became even more fierce. On October 17, the mayor of Kiev, Ukraine, announced that in the morning, 28 drones flew towards , Kiev , and then a violent explosion broke out in the city of Kiev, and five explosions were heard in total. One of them is in a residential building in Shevchenkov district. It can be seen that after Iranian drones were delivered to the Russian army, the Russian army's strike on Kiev became even stronger.

In order to save the situation of the war, the United States and NATO took action, trying to change the reality that the Russian army has air superiority, shouting that they would send military aid to "change the rules of the battlefield". It is known that Germany has delivered the first IRIS-T air defense system, and the United States is also preparing to deliver the NASAMS air defense system.
NASAMS air defense system
According to the United States, the purpose of providing NASAMS air defense system is to "change the rules of the game" so that the Ukrainian army has the ability to fight air defense. The Americans hope that this system can eliminate the Russian air and space offensive. NASAMS air defense system was developed by Norway and is actually a land-based model of the US-made AIM-120 air-to-air missile. Each firepower unit consists of 3 6-connected launchers and 2 AN/MPQ-64 radars, as well as passive optoelectronics and infrared sensors , etc. The attack radius of the basic AIM-120 missile is about 25 kilometers. If it is replaced with a dedicated AIM-120C-7 missile, the attack radius can reach more than 40 kilometers. Considering many factors, only basic missile can be provided.
Two missiles mixed with
Since the Russian army launched a large bombing on Ukraine on October 10, by October 17, the Russian army has bombed Kiev for a week, causing great losses. Against this background, the United States stated that the air defense missiles sent to the Ukrainian army are about to arrive and are being delivered at accelerating. This can be seen as: the United States retaliates against the Russian bombing, and its targeted behavior also made Zelensky look forward to American missiles. Since the war started, Ukraine has hoped that the West has assisted advanced air defense missiles, but it has not been obtained, and now there is good news.
The United States has been providing various support behind Ukraine, but it still has to pretend to be a non-participant in the war. Now, with the change of the situation, the United States has shown its fangs, tear off its camouflage, improves its military aid level, and begins to urgently aid the advanced missiles of the Ukrainian army, trying to reverse the situation of the war.

Related information asked the Indian media Eurasian Times to publish an article saying: The ending of the Russian-Ukrainian war is being rewritten. The original air defense weapon of the Ukrainian army was made of Russian and very old, which poses no threat to the Russian army. Short-range air defense missiles such as Stinger missiles provided by the West can only deal with low-altitude targets. As long as Russian fighter jets fly higher, they will have little effect. Therefore, the efficiency of air defense is very low. The upcoming NASAMS system will change everything, a point defense system developed to defend against high-value targets.
The Eurasian Times believes that the advantages of NASAMS air defense system are too obvious. For example, it may be equipped with a Link-16 data link, and it does not require monitoring radar . The airborne monitoring device can send a prompt to the target through the data link. It emphasized that NATO can monitor the sky of the entire Ukraine and provide 24 hours × 7 days per week to allow the Ukrainian army to clearly understand the situation of the Russian army, discover defense loopholes and exploit them. For example: E-3 early warning aircraft can effectively detect and track the Russian cruise missile , but the Ukrainian air defense system cannot receive real-time target data of E-3. After the NASAMS and IRIS-T systems arrive, the problem can be solved.
IRIS-T air defense system
If it is reported, it is now only available for one air defense missile, which is equivalent to the United States showing its fangs, which is a bit too alarmist and too boasting. The performance of NASAMS air defense system is far less magical than the legendary magic. It is just a medium-range air defense weapon, specially used to defend key areas, not omnipotent, and has strong limitations.Judging from the characteristics of this mission, maybe you are afraid of "beheading" Zelensky? This system can ensure the safety of the Ukrainian presidential palace and you can avoid any drone attacks. As of now, the Russian army does intend to "behead" the senior Ukrainian army. During the air strike on October 10, it received bombings at the location of the Ukrainian government. Therefore, if US missiles arrive, it can indeed play a certain role in air defense of important places, and can also effectively "anti-air attack beheading".
Ukraine really has no good countermeasures against Iranian drones
Now with such a system, you can be "beheaded" without fear of air strikes. After nearly August consumption, the Russian army's long-range strikes on important targets are increasingly dependent on drones. Iran's drones have become the main force of Russian military's attacks. NASAMS air defense system can effectively defend against various types of drones, but is there any significance? Will an Iranian-building drone cost the Russian army $50,000? A suspicious thing is that an air defense missile costs about US$1 million. In this way, Putin can smile.
The Eurasian Times shouted: It's the Russian army's turn to be anxious, it's a completely ignorant manifestation. The United States provides too few NASAMS air defense systems and it is not equipped with the US military at all. It is sent to Ukraine to test it in practice, and it is not invincible. The Russian army can have a variety of ways to destroy it, anti-radiation missile , etc., not that it is not afraid of attacks.
Zelensky was looking forward to the US missile
Maybe it can only be said that the media likes to brag too much. Modern warfare has long entered the era of systematicity, and a single weapon and equipment cannot play a decisive role. If you don’t believe it, let the actual combat explain everything.
