The Air Force showed a video of the Raven air defense system in action
The video was published by the Air Force.
As the airmen said, the Raven anti-aircraft missile systems from Great Britain "work" in various directions. The video tells what types of air targets the Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners have and how effective the British complex is.
It is worth noting that the air defense system is equipped with AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles, it is designed to destroy drones of all types, cruise missiles, and ideally, airplanes and helicopters.
The crew of the combat vehicle consists of three people: a commander, a driver, and a gunner. It is interchangeable, meaning that crew members can switch roles if necessary.
Recall that since the beginning of the full-scale war, Britain has resolutely supported Ukraine and provided military, financial, and diplomatic assistance. In particular, it contributes to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities and advocates for holding the aggressor accountable at the international level.
During the summer meeting of Ramstein, Britain announced a record aid for the supply of drones in the amount of 350 million pounds, which will allow the transfer of 100 thousand drones to Ukraine during the current year.
