I haven't been following this thread recently so this may have been discussed. Pentagon awarded $1.2 billion to Raytheon to build six NASAMS for Ukraine.
The work to develop the NASAMS... will be completed by Nov. 28, 2025.
So three years before they get to Ukraine. That may good for future defense if Ukraine wins the war but it doesn't help win the war. If Ukraine loses the war the NASAMS could be sent to a NATO country or more likely kept in the U.S. arsenal.
