US trying to speed up delivery of key air defense systems to Ukraine after Russia’s Iranian-supplied drone attacks

CNN  

CNN — The US Defense Department is trying to speed up the delivery of two advanced surface-to-air missile systems to Ukraine as Russia has increasingly used Iranian-supplied drones that explode on impact to pummel Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. “They’re essentially using these drones as sort of a poor man’s precision guided weapon against Ukrainian infrastructure.” A US defense official told CNN Monday that the Pentagon is now trying to accelerate the delivery of two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, or NASAMS —systems owned by 12 nations and already used to protect Washington, DC. Later on Monday the top US spy chief said Russia has been firing its precision munitions “at an unsustainable rate,” leaving them reliant on lower-end weapons and technological band-aids that “are probably leading to weapons and systems that are less capable.” “Russia entered the war with prodigious stocks of munitions, but it has been firing them at an unsustainable rate,” Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told an intelligence conference in Washington. At a meeting of allied defense chiefs focused on Ukrainian aid last week, US Chairman of the Joint chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, said that the US and its allies should contribute air defense systems they have and then help Ukraine knit the systems together to create a comprehensive defense.
