Incredibly odd choice of weaponry.
RIM-7
Ground-to-Air anti-missile missile. Always nice to see more missile defense.
and AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
Wait wut? Wikipedia says this is the famous "Sidewinder" missile, an air-to-air missile. This suggests that Ukraine is getting ready for air-to-air engagements.
Wikipedia says these are short range Air-to-Air missiles, AIM-9 specifically being the well known "Sidewinder" missile. This suggests that Ukraine is getting ready for air-to-air engagements of some kind.
including .50 caliber rounds to counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS);
Some kind of anti-drone system I'm not aware of. Good to see them trying to work on anti-drone.
Airfield support equipment;
There's clearly aircraft support coming in.
and AIM-9M missiles for air defense
AIM-9 missiles can also be fired from NASAMS ground-based launchers, which Ukraine operates. You don't get nearly the same range, but, if you have a giant pile of missiles, it is nice to have multiple ways to use them.
Love to see the Javelins and (soon) more Javelin footage of Russian invaders suddenly ceasing invading.
