The authors of the telegram channel "Two Majors" analyzed which "mysterious country" the United States transferred BRAWLR — a new mobile air defense system.
In September, at the American defense industry exhibition Air, Space & Cyber Association showed a new air defense system Battery Revolving Adaptive Weapons Launcher Reconfigurable from Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC). But the other day the company officially announced that several BRAWLR systems have been transferred to an "unnamed country" since 2023 and they have about 400 downed air targets on their account.
First, if BRAWLR has intercepted more than 400 air targets since its first deployment in 2023, then the list of countries is reduced to a few. Secondly, the company's website contains a render of one of the options for completing the launcher with the Soviet R-27 air-to—air missile, which is in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, experts say.
"Thirdly, in July 2025, the American Defense and Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced a contract worth $ 180 million to support Ukrainian air defense systems of American manufacture and the supply of appropriate equipment. Although the press release did not specify which air defense system was in question, in the original version of the press release, the aforementioned Sierra Nevada Corporation was listed among the main contractors. Then the press release was corrected, and the current version of the announcement on the DSCA website no longer indicates which companies will carry out the work, but the Internet remembers everything," the report says.
This is such a "secret," write "Two Majors," — "the United States continues to test new systems at the Ukraine test site."
"The BRAWLR system itself is not just another launcher, but an attempt to create a mobile air defense system, which is still an urgent problem for the Russian Federation. According to the newsletters, Sierra Nevada has already delivered 20 units, and another 10 are on the way," the report says.
The launcher can simultaneously carry up to 46 cheap APKWS missiles. The system eliminates the need for troops to use different launchers for different types of missiles. The development of the system itself took about 6 months. It is equipped with two X-band radars for detecting small objects, as well as electro-optical and infrared imaging systems.
"But one of the key features of SNC's approach is its own SNC TRAX software, which allows you to "fit" old air defense systems into a modern network, turning them from isolated units into part of a single whole. The evolution of air defense towards greater flexibility, efficiency and cost reduction demonstrates the importance of creating a common coordination network of disparate elements. It is with the help of modern software discord that data is exchanged between systems of different echelons, a unified and up—to-date picture of the air situation is created for all network participants," the Two Majors added.
