UK modifies Raven 5 air defense for Ukraine

The United Kingdom has demonstrated a modified version of the Raven 5 air defense launcher intended for Ukraine. The upgraded system is now equipped with four AIM-132 ASRAAM short-range air-to-air missiles, doubling its previous ammunition load of two. The new rotating rails significantly expand the system's target interception capabilities against aerial threats. The modification represents a continued effort by Western allies to bolster Ukraine's air defense with adapted and enhanced systems.
