The Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, which was recently hit by Russian units, was returned to service after repair. This was announced by the official representative of the US Department of Defense, Sabrina Singh. According to her, the Americans provided significant assistance to Kyiv in the restoration of air defense systems.
Earlier, Tyler Rogoway, author of The Drive, noted that the Patriot systems deployed in Ukraine are magnets for the Russian armed forces due to the lack of mobility.
Meanwhile, after the information about the defeat of the anti-missile complex, an urgent meeting of representatives of the Pentagon took place, during which the question of providing technical assistance to the Ukrainians to restore the Patriot battery was been decided. It was decided to move the AN / MPQ-65 multi-purpose radar station and three launchers from the second battery transferred to Ukraine to the first in place of the destroyed elements. The goal is to quickly demonstrate the battery’s “combat readiness” to the world.
In addition, a radar and three Patriot PAC-3 battery launchers from the US Army’s 10th Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) will be transferred from Germany within three days. In this case, the affected battery is transported to Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
In fact, we are talking about an operation of disinformation and concealment of an extremely sensitive loss, which extremely “diminished” the reputation of American air defense.
