NSATU Marks 60,000 Successful Military Shipments to Ukraine Since March

The NATO Security Assistance and Training Center for Ukraine (NSATU) has already delivered 60,000 shipments of military aid to Ukraine through logistics centers on NATO's Eastern flank.

The Gaze reports on it, referring to Ukrinform.

NSATU Deputy Commander Major General Mike Keller said in an interview that the Organization uses a central computer system to track the annual demand of the Ukrainian military and maintains a daily detailed exchange of information with Ukrainian partners to identify urgent operational needs.

The data obtained is then summarized, demand is coordinated with Ukraine, donor countries are identified, and aid is transported through logistics hubs. Evaluating the work done so far, Mike Keller said that about 60,000 shipments have been made since March.

“These are 60,000 shipments that took place without any major problems, which I consider a huge success. We transport about 18,000 tons per month through these hubs by land, rail, and air. This mainly involves road transport,” the General said.

Keller also noted that the organization's largest logistics hub is located in Poland with a capacity of 18,000 tons of cargo per month, noting that a smaller hub in Romania will also be subordinated to NSATU over time.

Moreover, he emphasized that air defense and air patrols have been organized in Poland and Romania with NATO support to protect against airborne threats.

“And, of course, we are taking operational security measures, not publicizing deliveries, not making them visible,” he added.

When asked about the priority of deliveries, the general replied that air and missile defense systems are currently the top priority. This includes Patriot systems for intercepting ballistic missiles and complexes for combating cruise missiles, such as IRIS-T, NASAMS, and others.

According to him, there is also a very high demand for artillery ammunition, as well as mines and anti-tank weapons, which allow for strengthening positions and repelling enemy attacks.

Interestingly, priorities in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles are somewhat different: financial support for the Ukrainian defense industry is more important than the direct supply of drones.

“And in the field of drones, significant support is needed not so much in terms of supplies as in financing the Ukrainian defense industry, which probably has better capabilities than the Western industry when it comes to drones. And this also applies to another goal, among others, namely the ability to strike deep into enemy territory,” the General noted.

Summarizing, Major General Mike Keller argued that the main goal of the command until the end of the year is to ensure the continued commitment of all partner countries in supporting Ukraine, both financially and through personal contributions.

“We must send a very clear signal to Russia that we will remain committed to our cause and will support Ukraine for as long as necessary,” he stressed.

At the same time, the priority is to achieve a greater volume of predictable pledges so that Ukrainian forces can plan operations in advance, in particular six months in advance.

“So our goal is to have about six months of predictability so that Ukrainian forces know six months in advance what the contributions will be in terms of systems and ammunition so that they can better plan their operations,” Keller added.
