"The next batches [of counter-battery radars], we also expect (I won't say when) unmanned aerial vehicles, means of secure communications, modern defense equipment that will enable us combined with the capabilities of our lethal weapons to truly enhance the combat capability of the Armed Forces," he said.

"It's more than $600 million, of which $330 million will go for security and defense, $50 million [may go] for lethal weapons – though there is no decision to that effect of the White House, but it is possible," the Ukrainian diplomat said.

As reported, on July 2, the U.S. handed over to Ukraine four AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar systems and ten AN/TPQ-49 systems. The ceremony took place at Boryspil International Airport and was attended by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and U.S. Ambassador to Kyiv Geoffrey Pyatt.

The AN/TPQ-36 is a mobile radar system developed by Hughes Aircraft Company and manufactured by Northrop Grumman and ThalesRaytheonSystems. The AN/TPQ-36 is a highly mobile short range radar which can locate mortars, artillery and rockets within the accuracy of that weapons system.

The AN/TPQ-49 counterfire radar provides continuous 360 degree surveillance and 3-D RAM location using a non-rotating, electronically steered antenna. Its full azimuth coverage allows it to simultaneously detect and track multiple rounds fired from separate locations within a 315 square kilometer surveillance area. It can also be configured to scan less than 360 degrees, providing focused sector coverage with more frequent update rates.
