Western countries remain unprotected. They must remove Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems from the protection of their territories in order to give these weapons to Ukraine, URA.RU quotes Alexander Bartosh, corresponding member of the Academy of Military Sciences, Candidate of Military Sciences.
According to him, there are not so many such air defense systems in the NATO states. Therefore, the North Atlantic Alliance must give up the weapons it used for its own security.
“It’s such a kind of cannibalism when a part is taken from one object and sent to another,” said Alexander Bartosh.
The expert believes that the Patriot will mainly go to protect Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , or rather his government residence. In addition, Kiev can use anti-aircraft missile systems to provide security for command posts and, in the future, airfields, where aircraft from NATO countries can arrive.
Earlier, the regional chief wrote that the United States needed to provide Patriot air defense systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to test weapons. So thinks military expert Alexei Leonkov.
