The media reported details about the air defense system promised to Ukraine from Britain.

    The British air defense system, which was quickly developed specifically for the needs of Ukraine, is the Gravehawk anti-aircraft missile system.

    Its urgent development was jointly financed by funds from Great Britain and Denmark, Militarny reports.

    The sea container-sized system uses air-to-air missiles to be launched from the ground at air targets and can be equipped with Ukrainian missiles already in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    Two Gravehawk prototypes have already been tested in Ukraine. The UK plans to hand over a further 15 units this year.

    The mention that this is a rapidly developed air defense system makes it clear that we are not talking about a full-fledged anti-aircraft complex, but a relatively simple design solution based on ready-made solutions.

    According to the description, the anti-aircraft system is similar to the famous British missile system on the Supacat HMT chassis, equipped with an optical target search station and two guides for AIM-132 ASRAAM aircraft missiles. However, the report notes the use of “Ukrainian missiles.” It is possible that we are talking about a solution based on Soviet R-73 aircraft missiles, significant reserves of which are present in the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense. The Ukrainian defense industry has actively adapted them for launches from the modernized Osa air defense systems and Magura v5 naval drones, Militarny noted.
