Ukraine's use of the US-made Patriot system has been celebrated. A mixed pastThe MIM-104 Patriot missile system is a ground-based, mobile surface-to-air missile battery that can down crewed and uncrewed aircraft, cruise missiles, and short-range and tactical ballistic missiles. AdvertisementNone of Ukraine's Patriot missile systems have been confirmed destroyed, though there have been Russian claims, but the system has been involved in confirmed kills of Russian aircraft and missiles. "We were again, very much surprised by what we see now, what the effectiveness of the Patriot system seems to be," he said. The problem with Patriot missiles for Ukraine mirrors its main obstacle in trying to fight Russia: A critical shortage of supplies and ammunition.

AXEL HEIMKEN/Pool via REUTERS/ File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsANKARA, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Turkey's parliament will keep its promise to ratify Sweden's NATO bid if U.S. President Joe Biden's administration paves the way for F-16 jet sales to Ankara, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday, according to Turkish media. Speaking to reporters on his flight back from Azerbaijan's exclave of Nakhchivan, Erdogan said that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed Sweden's NATO membership bid last week in New York. The U.S. administration is linking F-16 fighter jet sales to Turkey with Ankara's ratification of Sweden's bid, Erdogan said. "If they (the U.S.) keep their promises, our parliament will keep its own promise as well. Turkish parliament will have the final say on Sweden's NATO membership," he said.

☆ Un obuzier a fost folosit pentru a distruge o rachetă de crozieră aflată în zbor

Un obuzier M109 Paladin de 155 mm a făcut istorie după ce a distrus o rachetă de croazieră care se deplasa cu viteză mare. Experimentul a fost făcut la White Sands Missile Range din statul american New Mexico, transmite FOX News, citează go4it.ro. A fost distrusă o rachetă „rusească” cu ajutorul unui sistem de țintire numit Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), dezvoltat de US Airforce. Acesta a fost gândit inițial pentru tunurile electromagnetice care urmează să fie instalate pe navele militare. O versiune modernizată a obuzierului autopropulsat, M109A7, a fost introdusă în serviciu în 2013.
