The Patriot anti-aircraft missile system from the United States will not be able to significantly affect the course of hostilities in Ukraine and will not help the country’s armed forces to strengthen their air defense systems, writes the American portal Military Watch.
The article argues that the air defense system will not be able to sufficiently help the Ukrainian army to shoot down Russian missiles, both because of the dubious track record of this complex, and because of the very small number of combat units that can be supplied as part of a military assistance package of 1, 85 billion dollars.
“The air defense missile system had great difficulty coping with homemade missiles and Soviet R-17 missiles of the 60s, so its ability to neutralize Russian missiles of the 21st century, such as the Iskander, raises serious doubts,” the authors of the material noted.
The article suggested that the potential failure of the Patriot in Ukraine could jeopardize the possibility of further sales of SAMs.
