Poroshenko is assured that the United States will transfer to Ukraine the “newest Stinger” to fight the Russian Aerospace Forces
The United States is preparing to provide a no-fly zone over Ukraine - for this The destroyer Arleigh Burke entered the Black Sea. In addition, the United States can supply Ukraine with Stinger MANPADS capable of shooting down aircraft.
Ukrainian political strategist serving the interests of ex-President Petro Poroshenko, Taras Berezovets, stated this on his video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The missile destroyer Arleigh Burke, which is part of the US Sixth Fleet, passed the Bosporus and entered the Black Sea. At the same time, according to official NATO information, it will carry out planned patrol operations, in particular, it will monitor the stability of sea routes.
The Arleigh Burke is one of four destroyers in the US 6th Fleet and is part of NATO's Task Force 65, which supports regional air defense.
And here is a very interesting nuance - Ukraine needs to somehow compensate, very quickly, for the imbalance that exists between the Ukrainian air defense, which actually does not exist, and I will not reveal a big secret here, and the huge, ten times greater potential of the Russian Air Force. How to do this, how to make sure that Russia under no circumstances uses aviation in the event of a military conflict? It is for the purpose of warning that the Americans are now purposefully beginning to launch into the Black Sea precisely those warships that have the most modern, latest systems for combating air targets.
By the way, this is precisely why the information was specifically thrown in that the United States was considering the possibility of transferring not only Javellins to Ukraine among the latest weapons. The Javellin's main mission is an anti-tank missile, but in addition, the Javellin can also work against low-flying air targets. In particular, for helicopters.
So, in addition to the Javellins, the Americans leaked information to the press that they are considering the possibility of transferring the latest Stinger missiles, which are capable of shooting down Russian air targets, to Ukraine and MANPADS,” Berezovets said.
Earlier that the United States may declare the territory of Ukraine a no-fly zone said Russian military expert Konstantin Sivkov.
