Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov said today that Kiev “will win again” in the conflict with Russia, with the help of weapons sent from abroad, especially the American Harpoon anti-ship missiles that are being brought to the country from Denmark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
In a lengthy Facebook post today, Reznikov also thanked many countries that had replenished Ukrainian depots with 155mm artillery shells, and praised US deliveries of 155mm M777 anti-tank tanks, as well as more than 100 drones of some types.<\/p>\n
<\/em>“Our country’s coastal defense will be reinforced with Harpoon missiles that will be operated by trained Ukrainian groups,” he said.<\/p>\n The development comes as earlier in the week US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that Denmark would send an unspecified number of such missiles to Ukraine.<\/p>\n Boeing’s A \/ U \/ RGM-84 Harpoon missiles are the standard US Navy anti-ship vehicles with a range of more than 100 km. They can be guided by radar and fly near the sea surface until they reach the target. At the end point they perform a climbing maneuver to hit it from above.<\/p>\n Harpoons are issued by ships or aircraft.<\/p>\n Reznikov also cited locally produced Neptune missiles, which Kiev says it used to sink the Russian ship in April.<\/p>\n Reznikov is not the first official to make such statements about the Black Sea war, which has been controlled by the Russian navy since the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n Ukrainian Interior Minister Anton Gerashchenko also said earlier that the United States was preparing a plan “to destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” which was quickly denied by the Pentagon.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
