MilitaryAnons which of the items in the list below would qualify as "advanced weapons"? My own guesstimate is highlighted in the red text in the Pic.
And, MilitaryAnons, would it be a correct assumption that interoperability with NATO is key to deployment of most, if not all, of such weapons given the necessity of top-notch training and reliable supply of parts/material support?
Define "interoperability".
TY
AN/TPQ anti-fires radar systems, Javelin missiles (210 missiles and 37 launchers), sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, counter-artillery radars, electronic warfare detection and secure communications, night vision, military medical treatment, counter-sniper equipment (Model M107A1 Sniper Systems), Humvees, tactical drones.
Advisers and training to boost Ukraine’s NATO interoperability: English language labs, medical equipment and improvised bomb simulators. The funds could also pay for spare parts, sustainment and training for previously purchased U.S. gear.
Anti-armor weapon systems, mortars, crew-served weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers and ammunition, and small arms and ammunition ― but also unspecified “cyber” and “electronic warfare” capabilities.
Air defense and coastal defense radars; naval mine and counter-mine capabilities; and littoral-zone and coastal defense vessels (two 110-foot coast guard cutters). Also equipment training to counter waterborne threats. Maritime advisers, parts and training to build electronic signals intelligence, naval special warfare capabilities, and anti-submarine warfare capabilities (towed-array sonars, lightweight torpedoes and sonobuoys). Maritime rapid response capabilities (small boats, communication, safety equipment and training simulators).
