"LONDON—A rapidly developed surface-to-air missile system based on MBDA's Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile (Asraam) has achieved hit rates of 90% against Russian targets in Ukraine, the UK defense ministry has revealed.
The air defense system was developed by a joint team from the UK defense ministry and MBDA and fielded in just four months, defense officials announced in late December.
Details have finally emerged following the August 2023 publication of a single image of the system on the front line in Ukraine. That image showed the Asraam missiles mounted on launch rails fitted to a Supacat high-mobility vehicle and possibly cued by an electro-optical system.
Asraam is the primary short-range air-to-air weapon of the UK Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoon and Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter."
