The UK Ministry of Defence has revealed it will send five additional Raven air defense systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The project, which will increase Kyiv’s Ravens to 13, is part of London’s “Kindred” effort to support Ukraine’s national security through “stockpiles and rapid procurement” amidst Russia’s continued aggression.
Britain first delivered the ground-based capabilities to Ukraine in 2023 in addition to almost 150 surface-to-air missiles.
Col. Olly Todd, military assistant head at UK Task Force Kindred, highlighted that Ukrainian warfighters have completed more than 400 engagements using the weapons on the frontlines, with a success rate of over 70 percent.
