Ukraine continues to comment on statements about the "possible approval" of the supply of Patriot air defense systems. Previously, there were claims that, that the US administration is allegedly not against such supplies, then publications appeared in the American media, that Biden has not yet come to a final decision.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine itself, they are already “dividing the skin of an unkilled bear”, talking about, where is it more efficient to place the Patriot air defense system "after it is delivered".
So, in the Ukrainian media, with reference to an expert in the field of aviation Valeriy Romanenko, an article was published, which says, what if the Patriot air defense system appears on Ukrainian territory, then, at best, with its help it will be possible to cover one, not the biggest, regional center.
According to Romanenko, the problem with such deliveries of air defense systems is, that "they are disproportionately small with the real needs of a country like Ukraine".
Romanenko:
We started a war, when we had 31 S-300 complex, now we need the same number of Patriot air defense systems. Who will give them to us? No one. We are given (not yet given, – ca.. «IN») one battery, which consists of six launchers. What will this battery protect?? Well, at best one regional city. A couple of days ago, the head of the Kyiv regime Zelensky said, that "all drones, issued by Russia, were knocked down". If it is true, then why does Ukraine need Western air defense systems - look how effectively the Armed Forces at their disposal operate ... Although in Ukraine they are positioning the possible supply of Patriot as a response to the allegedly “coming” supply of “Iranian ballistic missiles” to Russia.
