It became known how much Ukraine will receive the Gravehawk air defense systems from Britain.

The United Kingdom will provide Ukraine with 15 new mobile Gravehawk air defense systems. This was announced by the British government, which noted that the weapons are being developed in collaboration with Denmark.

In September 2024, the Ukrainian army tested two prototypes of the Gravehawk air defense system, developed specifically for their needs. It is planned that more than 10 such systems will be delivered by the end of 2025.

The Gravehawk air defense system, the size of a shipping container, can modify 'air-to-air' missiles for ground-based air defense. It is based on already existing Ukrainian missiles.

The new air defense system called Gravehawk was previously little known, however, in August it became known that Ukraine received new air defense systems on the chassis of the British SupaCat truck. NATO 'air-to-air' missiles AIM-132 Asraam are used.

Ukraine uses the R-73 missile, which is in service at various military facilities. This missile has its own guidance system, so it simply targets the target.

An agreement was previously signed between Ukraine and the United Kingdom for a partnership that includes financial assistance and cooperation in weapons production. Prime Minister Keir Starmer made an unannounced visit to Ukraine, during which he laid flowers at the monument to fallen Ukrainian defenders.
