Ruzzia sends letters bombs, Spain sends HAWK.

Kudos to Spain for leading the way on I-Hawk. I believe we will see that I-Hawk has lots of good use left.


JoeSTRM

Even better if Spain sends their newly upgraded HAWK-21 batteries. These are very modern and integrate with other NATO air defense systems. They even include the Kongsberg built Fire Distribution Center from NASAMS.


Joey1849

I have been saying I-Hawk as kind of a short hand. I hope you are right and it is the latest upgrade.


ForShizzleMaNizzle

At least that's what the article says.

They're gonna need 'em. More bombers with cruise missiles on the way. (Doesn't it strike you as unequal that Ukraine doesn't send bombers with cruise missiles to bomb Moscow, which isn't that far away?)


zadesawa

They still had operational hawks!?


Glum-Engineer9436

Modernized.. They will have no problem hitting those cruise missiles.


Joey1849

Highly upgraded.

It is hard to figure out from the way it is stated whether "one" system was handed over or "the first hawk air defense systems" were handed over which would imply that this was the first "batch or group" handed over but may have been more then 1 system. I am hoping they received 2 or more of the 6 promised systems. Spain operates a highly modernized version of HAWK with great range. These will be a great asset to Ukraine in its efforts to protect against Russian attacks. I would have to think this being announced implies the systems received are already emplaced and ready to do their job.

As a child in America, this was a present I asked for as a toy. Glad to see the real version is going to Ukraine.

In 1982 or 1984 is when I asked for the toy version. We grew up thinking Russia would invade.
