Estonia says Mistral systems and missiles for them are already in Ukraine

The Estonian Ministry of Defense confirmed this on the social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

“Mistral short-range air defence systems and missiles provided by Estonia have been delivered to Ukraine. Let's keep supporting freedom fighters,” the post reads.

Mistral is a French modern air defense missile system for engaging helicopters and aircraft. Mistral is available in a portable version (man-portable air defense system) and for use on launch platforms for vehicles, ships and helicopters. The system has a range of up to 6 km and is designed for protection against relatively low-flying aircraft and helicopters.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Estonia has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, which includes Mistral short-range air defense missile systems and ammunition for them.
