Spain has indicated that they will both be delivering ground-based air defense systems to Ukraine. This development has taken place as NATO member countries collectively rush to provide Ukraine with advanced air defense capabilities they need to combat attacks like the recent barrage of Russian cruise missiles and drones on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.In a press briefing held Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that Spain would be sending four medium-range Homing All the Way Killer (HAWK) air defense systems to Ukraine.Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley specifically mentioned HAWK was requested by Ukraine.He said,“What needs to be done here by all of the various countries that were at the conference today is to chip in and help [Ukraine] rebuild and sustain an integrated air missile defense system, specifically, older systems … Ukraine has asked for HAWK, or Improved-HAWK, I-HAWK, as it’s called. That’s a medium-altitude, medium-range system. It’s an older system, but it’s quite effective,”
