The Russian army will quickly destroy the Patriot air defence system sent to Ukraine, says former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
The ex-intelligence officer of the US Army commented on the statement of former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt that other countries should follow the example of Germany and also send air defence systems to Ukraine.
“We need to replace the IRIS-T that was lost yesterday. The life expectancy of this new Patriot system? Less than a week. Keep up the good work!” – noted Scott Ritter in the social network X.
We will remind, earlier in the Defence Ministry reported that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the launcher of the German-made IRIS-T SAM system used by Ukrainian troops.
