What are “S-300 Clone” and GAM-67 in America’s new $2.68 billion package for Ukraine? Experts think they have answer
Labeled "S-300 Clone," the new US missiles would reportedly let Ukraine keep its Soviet launchers firing
The United States has announced a $2.68 billion package to aid Ukraine, including controversial "S-300 Clone" missiles and the GAM-67 system. These weapons are intended to bolster Ukraine's air defense capabilities, but their origins and capabilities remain shrouded in mystery.
The "S-300 Clone" missiles are not direct replicas of Russia's S-300 air defense systems, as they possess enhanced characteristics and a different targeting guidance principle. The American government has not disclosed further details about these missiles, including their index, characteristics, or manufacturer.
In addition to the "S-300 Clone," the package includes the GAM-67 system. This medium-range missile, previously the subject of an unrealized American anti-radar missile project from the 1950s, is designed to be adaptable to both existing and future Soviet and American systems. The package also covers modernization, maintenance, spare parts, and logistical support for these systems.
