The Canadian government has announced it will buy a National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) from the United States and donated it to Ukraine in a bid to help strengthen the country’s air defense systems against ongoing Russian attacks.

In addition to NASAMS, the government will also supply Ukraine with all associated munitions. The value of the donation, which was officially announced on January 10, 2023, stands at around $406 million. It will be funded by the country’s $500 million military aid package for Ukraine, which was first announced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in November 2022.
