Hook’s interceptor missiles, if Washington sent to Ukraine, is an update of the “Steinger” systems, which are smaller and shorter air defense missiles that Washington had provided to Kev to repel the Russian military operation.
After Ukraine was hit by a barrage of missiles earlier this month, US President Joe Biden promised to give his country sophisticated air systems. He made the promise to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zellinski.
What is the “Hook” defence system?
Protection of infrastructure and energy facilities “This development comes at a time when NATO member states speed up their efforts to give Ukraine superior air defence capabilities that are required to counter attacks like Russian drones and missile barrage on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
“The recent Russian attacks on energy and infrastructure facilities showed what to do here by all different countries is participation and help Ukraine in rebuilding and maintaining an integrated air missile defence system, hook a medium-altitude system,” Radesiosini continued in remarks to “Sky News Arabia.” Although the average range is an outdated system, it is highly powerful.
“Long before the missile system update, Hook entered service with the American army in 1959, when Ryithon offered a medium-range surface-to-air missile as a more flexible and efficient option than MIM-14 Hercules by forgoing height and extension to reduce size and weight.
He emphasised that in order to improve the system, “Raytheon” redesigned the Hook missile in 1971, replacing the missile radar systems, adding improved electronic anti-electronic measures, and introducing a new warhead, among other improvements. By 1978, all American Hook units had switched over to the advantageous variable.
He noted that the system “has enjoyed great success in several countries it was purchased from America, particularly in the Middle East and Europe, including Spain, which owns the first and third phases of it and promoted the system and guaranteed newly promoted electronic components of analogue and launcher tracking radars in 2021 to ensure the system corresponds to the next generation technologies.”
After the attack on the Crimea Bridge, Russia resumed bombing numerous previously peaceful regions of Ukraine, including the nation’s capital Kyiv.
After the intense Russian shelling, the Ukrainian President, Voludmir Zellinski, pledged to improve his country’s air defense capabilities to shoot down Russian missiles..
