These missiles have the ability to hit targets at a distance of over 100 kilometers, which will significantly expand the combat capabilities of Ukrainian pilots. The use of such weapons will help Ukraine deliver precision strikes on Russian defensive positions, ammunition depots, and other key targets without the need to approach the range of Russian air defenses.
The new military aid package is also expected to include artillery ammunition, missiles and air defense systems. However, although the package has not yet been finalized, changes may be made before the official announcement.
Although the new missiles do not have the range that Ukraine had sought, they will still provide a significant advantage on the battlefield. The new weapons will allow Ukrainian pilots to strike from a greater safe distance, which will complicate the operations of Russian occupation forces in eastern Ukraine.
