I propose a new metric for measuring the value of military aid, more practical than using dollar values: MDEV, or Maximal Dorito Equivalent Value.
This is 784 Doritos worth of air defense.
NASAMS will arrive to Ukraine in about 1 to 3 Weeks (Pentagon)
It will include 2 NASAMS Systems each with at least 8 launchers that will each have 48 missiles to fire
