Despite ongoing Russian missile and drone assaults on Ukrainian air defence units, there is no news on the promised cutting-edge NASAMS by Canada. Canada announced plans to donate the $406 million surface-to-air missile defence system NASAMS to Ukraine on January 10, 2023. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been reiterating that deploying air defence systems on the frontlines is the top priority. However Canadian manufacturing firm has said that no it hasn’t received any contract to manufacture NASAMS.
