Really interesting bits in these documents.
I wonder what "FrankenSAM" is, perhaps a western missile mated to a Ukrainian launcher as had been mooted for RIM7 Sea Sparrow and Buk, though that already seems to be accounted for in the docs.
Also apparently UK has 100 Buk missiles they are sending as well??? S300 systems will need to be replaced by Patriots as those don't seem to have ready replacements.
From these docs, as of March 1st it seems they still had to inspect the Hawk systems prior to delivery, but it looks like 250 missiles, and 5 systems planned from Spain. 2x Feb, 2x March, 1x April I think it says but I can't be certain.
There does seem like a lot of Western capability coming online, but the numbers of missiles and systems still low compared to the Soviet stuff.
This has 12 expected Patriot systems with ~200 missiles online by end of April.
NASAMS looks like 9 launchers. Hard to tell the missile count but looks like several hundred. AIM120s should be available, but only 9 launchers is a limiting factor.
