Russian President Vladimir Putin’s prediction that the Patriot air defense would not last long in Ukraine has come true, reports Military Watch Magazine.
It is specified that the Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems in Ukraine were destroyed less than a month after the transfer of the first American air defense systems to the republic.
The Russian leader issued a warning because he was sure that the destruction of anti-aircraft missile systems would inevitably follow and immediately after their deployment on Ukrainian territory.
“Our adversaries assume that this is supposedly a defensive weapon. Okay, we’ll keep that in mind. And the antidote can always be found,” the publication quoted Putin as saying.
The day before, it was reported that the Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems transferred to Ukraine have become magnets for Russian missiles and are doomed to attack due to insufficient mobility.
