Ukraine to receive first Canada-ordered NASAMS system by year-end

On 4 November, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the first NASAMS air defense system ordered by Canada for Ukraine has been shipped, with expected delivery by the end of this year. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed him about the shipment during their phone conversation.

In late 2023, Zelenskyy stated that NASAMS and Patriot systems proved highly effective in Ukraine. In April 2024, amid intensified Russian air attacks, Zelenskyy urged allies to provide as many air defense systems as possible, stressing that Ukraine needs 25 Patriot systems to fully secure its airspace. He noted that even an immediate supply of seven systems would significantly boost Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

The Ukrainian President expressed gratitude to Trudeau, his team, and all involved parties for successfully hosting the Peace Formula conference on “Release of Prisoners and Deportees” in Montreal on 30-31 October.

“The next stage should be preparing the final document – the Peace Plan – based on the results of all thematic conferences. Our delegation presented Justin with the Victory Plan during the conference, and today he confirmed his support,” Zelenskyy stated.

The leaders discussed future cooperation regarding the organization of the second Peace Summit and engaging Global South countries. They also addressed continued defense support for Ukraine, the battlefield situation, including North Korea’s involvement in the war, and coordinated cooperation within Canada’s G7 presidency in 2025, according to Zelenskyy.

NASAMS, a mobile air defense system from Norway and the US, targets UAVs, ballistic missiles, helicopters, aircraft, and cruise missiles at medium to low altitudes, with a 180 km range and 21 km altitude capability, effective in all weather.
