The Ukrainian military is being trained to operate NASAMS [Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems] and IRIS-T [InfraRed Imagery Sidewinder Tail-controlled] anti-aircraft missile systems.

Source: Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, at a briefing at the Military Media Center on 6 October

Details: Ihnat noted that Ukraine is waiting for systems that can complement the existing air defence system - NASAMS from the USA and German IRIS-T.

When asked whether our servicemen are already undergoing retraining or training on these systems, or whether they are still studying them visually, the spokesperson for the Armed Forces answered briefly, but positively.

"They are undergoing [retraining or training]," said Ihnat, smiling.
