The United States is supplying Ukraine with Soviet-made air defense systems, secretly acquired several decades ago. This was reported on Monday by The Wall Street Journal, citing a source in the US administration.
“We continue to work with our allies and key partners to increase daily new assistance to Ukraine, including Soviet or Russian-made air defense systems and the ammunition needed to use them,” an unnamed US government official said. According to him, we are talking, in particular, about the Osa anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), which was put into service in the USSR in the early 1970s.
Meanwhile, among the deliveries to Ukraine, there was no S-300 complex, acquired, according to the source, by the Americans in Belarus in 1994.
On the eve it became known that Washington offered Ankara to transfer Russian S-400 Triumph air defense systems to Ukraine. In return, the United States will lift the sanctions imposed on Turkey and return it to the program for the supply of American F-35 fighters.
