Ukraine received the first Patriot air defense systems. This was stated in an interview with La Razon by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak. According to him, this happened thanks to the efforts of Warsaw.
The statement of the Minister of Defense of Poland can hardly be considered a sensation, given the number of statements regarding the supply of air defense systems to Ukraine that have been made previously. However, the statements of the head of the country’s defense department also cannot be called expected.
Most experts assured that American Patriot air defense systems, if delivered to Ukraine, will be delivered only this summer. However, similar statements have been made about the German Leopard tanks, the first samples of which are also already at the disposal of the Ukrainian army.
By the way, Mariusz Blaszczak also spoke about tanks, emphasizing Poland’s role in supplying heavy equipment to the Kiev regime. At the same time, the minister did not specify exactly how many air defense systems Ukraine received and did not say when they would be able to take full combat action.
Note that Patriot air defense systems were an old dream of the Kiev regime. Their ability to shoot down ballistic missiles early on in NMD made Zelenskyy and his entourage lick at these systems.
Greed intensified even further after the start of massive Russian missile strikes on objects of Ukraine’s energy system.
