BRATISLAVA, 18 March 2022, (TON): Slovakia’s defense minister said “the country would immediately provide its S-300 air defense system to Ukraine if it’s guaranteed a proper replacement in the near term.”
Jaroslav Nad’ said “Slovakia is in discussions with the United States and other allies on the possibility of deploying its S-300s to Ukraine to help the embattled country in its fight against invading Russian forces.
But the agreement hinges on Bratislava receiving a stand-in system for its air defenses.
“The only strategic air defense system that we have in Slovakia is S-300 system. So what would happen immediately when we decide to give it to Ukrainians is that we actually create a gap, a security gap in NATO.”
