Az USA a következő Ukrajnának szánt segélycsomag részeként most először AIM-9M Sidewinder rakétákat is tervez küldeni kifejezetten légvédelmi célra.

New Package of Additional U.S. Military Assistance for Ukraine - United States Department of State

Today we are announcing the next package of military assistance to aid Ukraine as it defends its territory and protects its people. This package contains important capabilities to help Ukraine on the battlefield. It includes AIM-9M missiles for air defense, munitions for High Mobility Artillery...

www.state.gov

Ez azért is érdekes, mert Ukrajnának a jelenleg rendelkezésre álló információk szerint nincs olyan eszköze amiről ezeket indíthatná - pláne légvédelmi rakétaként.

Elképzelhető, hogy "összebarkácsoltak" nekik egy a hajdani CHAPARRAL rendszerre emlékeztető megoldást. A britek már küldtek hasonlót Ukrajnába az ASRAAM rakétákhoz.
