Footage from Trump’s Bedminster visit shows a Humvee-mounted Avenger SHORAD system (with an AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar) deployed nearby as NORAD scrambled F-16s to escort two intruding general-aviation aircraft; the piece notes Avengers are used to protect the president and highlights broader security measures, including other vehicles and electronic warfare, while recalling past assassination attempts and Iran-related threats tied to Trump’s golf events.

Ukraine Bolsters Air Defences Amid Russian Strikes.

Ukraine is building a three-layered air defense network with a range of sophisticated Western systems to counter Russian air attacks. Russia has increased strikes in May, aimed at depleting air defense stocks so that fewer systems can be used to protect troops. The Avenger air defense system, supplied by the US, is an important part of the short-range end of the three-layered system. Ukraine is also pressing Australia to supply four-wheel-drive Hawkei vehicles that can be mounted with air defenses. In May alone, the Air Force reported shooting down 149 cruise missiles, 399 drones, seven hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, three ballistic missiles, and 11 Iskander missiles of two different types.

Ukraine fortifies air defenses amid tensions with Russia over missile strikes.

Ukraine is building a three-layered air defense network with a range of sophisticated Western systems to counter Russian air attacks. Russia has increased strikes in May, aimed at depleting air defense stocks so that fewer systems can be used to protect troops. The Avenger air defense system, supplied by the US, is an important part of the short-range end of the three-layered system. The system is highly mobile and effective near the battlefield, but there are too few of the systems to go around. Ukraine is pressing Australia to supply four-wheel-drive Hawkei vehicles that can be mounted with air defenses and used in the same way as Avengers.
