ASlovakia announced its readiness to transfer the S-300PMU air defense division to Ukraine. Slovakia intends to transfer one division of the S-300PMU air defense system to Ukraine.The only division of the S-300PMU air defense system, which is in service with Slovakia, will be transferred to Ukraine, provided that NATO countries or the United States provide Slovakia with an equivalent replacement for these systems. The decision to transfer the S-300 air defense system to the Armed Forces of Ukraine can be made as early as next week, as expected, after the NATO summit scheduled for March 24. At the moment, it remains unknown exactly how many mobile launchers are included in the Slovak division of the S-300PMU air defense system, however, according to a number of data, Slovakia also has about 100 anti-aircraft guided missiles for complexes of this type, with the presence of which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have just very serious problems.Among other things, there is unconfirmed information that the S-300 systems may also be provided by Bulgaria, which also has one S-300 air defense division in service, however, so far there is no official data on this.Earlier it became known that the United States and NATO agreed on the supply of four types of air defense systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.“According to a senior US official, these additional systems include Soviet-era mobile air defense systems SA-8 (Osa air defense system), SA-10 (S-300 air defense system), SA-12 (S-300V air defense system) and SA- 14 (MANPADS “Strela-3”). Their range is longer than that of the Stinger missiles previously delivered to Ukraine, which gives them the ability to hit cruise missiles. According to this senior US official, the systems have been received from NATO partner countries and are “on the way.”, – said in the published material CNN.Russia has not yet reacted to information about the supply of air defense equipment to Ukraine.
