Feb 6 (Reuters) – Canada is supplying AIM missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s air defences, Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wrote on X on Friday, adding that delivery is already under way.
Fedorov did not disclose the number of missiles but also said that he had discussed joint drone production, military training and experience sharing in a call with his Canadian counterpart, David McGuinty.
As easy as it is for me to say while sitting on a couch. I wish we did more
I’d expect a better understanding/reporting from Reuters.
AIM isn’t a specific type of missile. It’s just a NATO equipment code.
A: Air Launched
I: Intercept
M: Missile
So it’s a guided anti-air missile, that is launched from an aircraft. Is in an AIM-7 Sparrow? an AIM-9 Sidewinder? an AIM-120 AMRAAM?
