U.S. delivers first counter-mortar radar systems to Ukraine

The U.S. military have delivered the first three lightweight, counter-mortar radar systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren told this to reporters on November 21, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“The radar systems see incoming mortar fire and quickly calculate the point of origin of a mortar round fired by the enemy, and allows friendly forces to react appropriately,” Warren said.
He added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces would determine how, where and when they will employ the systems.
According to the press service of the Pentagon, the radar systems are the first few of 20 that will be delivered during the next several weeks and U.S. military members will begin training Ukrainian armed forces in mid-December.
The radar systems are part of the $118 million in equipment and training the United States has committed to assisting Ukraine’s armed forces.
“We’re working closely with the Ukrainians through the interagency process,” Warren said.
