How this highly-mobile Soviet-era air defence system could aid Ukraine
640Slovakia is the second Nato country set to send fighter jets to Ukraine, following Poland, which announced on Friday it would be giving four MiG-29s to Kyiv.
Along with its donation of 13 jets, Slovakia will also supply two of its Kub air defence systems, the country's Prime Minister Eduard Heger said.
