Allies agreed on 12 October to transfer various air-defence assets to Ukraine and help Kyiv knit them together into an integrated layered defence capability against Russian missiles and aircraft. While senior allied military officials said the assets would be transferred as quickly as possible, they declined to say how long it would take to achieve that capability.

“These systems will be provided as fast as we can get them there,” US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told reporters after a meeting of the US-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO headquarters in Brussels on 12 October preceding a 12–13 October allied defence ministerial.
