Spain will replace Hawk SAM donated to Ukraine with NASAMS



Spanish MOD is finalising a deal to replace the 6 Hawk batteries donated to Ukraine inmediatly.
The final agreement it's expected to be confirmed in the following days.
The decision to donate the Hawk missile system to ukraine has generated controversy in spanish military and defense circles. These voices lamented the loss of the already reduced Spanish air defense capacity.
With this decision, this capacity will be recovered and reinforced, as NASAMS is one of the most modern and effective systems available on the market.
These capabilities are being demonstrated in the war in ukraine, where this system is being used with great effectiveness.
The Spanish Army acquired 4 NASAMS II advanced anti-aircraft missile system in 2003, as part of the industrial compensation for the purchase by the Norwegian Navy of five Fridtjof Nansen-class frigates (Spanish 'Alvaro de Bazán F-100 Type)
Spain is currently deploying one NASAMS system to Latvia.
