The UK Ministry of Defence has announced plans to supply five additional Raven air defense systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This delivery will expand Ukraine’s total inventory of Ravens to 13 and forms part of London’s “Kindred” initiative, which supports Ukraine’s security through stockpile contributions and accelerated procurement in response to ongoing Russian hostilities. The UK initially delivered the ground-based systems in 2023, alongside nearly 150 surface-to-air missiles.
