In this regard, the Russian satellite news agency reported on the 20th local time that the national advanced land -air missile system will be the first medium -range air defense system that was transported to Ukraine in the West.

In addition, these weapons and equipment also include 15 "Scan Eagle" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

According to a number of American media reports such as the Associated Press, this is the first time that the United States has provided unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to Ukraine. "Scanning Eagle" is a drone that can be launched by pneumatic ejection transmitting racks. It is mainly used for tactical support such as maritime surveillance and reconnaissance, intelligence collection, target search, and communication relay.

US Secretary of State Brills issued a statement on the same day that the Russian -Ukraine conflict has been close to 6 months. This group of security aids "carefully calibrated, played the greatest role on the battlefield, and strengthened Ukraine's position on the negotiating table."

This is the 19th time that the US President Biden has used the administrative power of the Presidential President to directly retrieve the aid weapon from the Ministry of Defense in inventory. Since Biden's administration, the United States has promised to provide Ukraine with a total security aid of about $ 10.6 billion.
