Ukrainian Air Force speaker Yuriy Ignat confirmed the planning of deliveries of AMRAAM air-to-air missiles from the United States of America. These missiles with a maximum range of 160 to 180 km can change the balance of power in the air, allowing Ukrainian aircraft to engage air targets without entering the strategic air defense zone.

At the moment, it is known that the United States has indeed announced the release of a significant batch of cruise missiles of this type. Initially, a specific model of the missile was not named, however, if we are talking about really long-range missiles, this could lead to a very serious escalation.

Ignat did not name the timing of the delivery of such missiles, however, it is obvious that they will not be sent to Ukraine before the middle of next year, which, nevertheless, does not at all reduce the threat of using such missiles.
