ISLAMABAD: Monitoring Desk – Canadian National Defence Minister Bill Blair says long-awaited US-made missile defense systems that the Canadian government helped to purchase have been delivered to Ukraine.
Blair told the House Defense Committee that the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) Ottawa pledged $406 million almost two years ago are now in the hands of the Ukrainians.
“I can’t give you more information on that because of operational security, but we have been able to deliver at long last — and I think it’s going to make a difference because it will enable them to protect communities,” Blair told the committee.
