Details
It is reported that Estonia is providing Ukraine with short-range Mistral anti-aircraft missile systems and missiles as military aid.
"Ukraine urgently needs air defense to repel Russia's brutal attacks, and it is in Estonia's direct security interest to contribute to this together with its allies. We have designed the aid package in such a way that Ukraine will benefit from it as much as possible without compromising the combat readiness of the Estonian Defense Forces, and we can resume the necessary supplies as soon as possible," said Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur.
It is noted that the exact number is not disclosed for security reasons.
Previously, Estonia has donated, for example, Javelin anti-tank missiles, howitzers, artillery, anti-tank mines, anti-tank grenade launchers, mortars, vehicles, communications equipment, field hospitals (including in cooperation with Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Iceland), medical supplies, personal protective equipment (helmets, etc.) and dry food packages.
Addendum
Germany will supply Ukraine with the third Patriot air defense system, IRIS-T, Cheetahs, missiles and ammunition in the coming weeks and month.
