Air defense systems for Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has been working to strengthen its air defense, calling on partners to transfer their installations capable of shooting down Russian missiles and drones.
However, Ukraine’s need for air defense has intensified following the resumption of Russian strikes on energy facilities. Germany promised to help Ukraine with the search for air defense. As Berlin stated, the German government will review its reserves and will look around the world for systems that can be sent to Ukraine.
As President Vladimir Zelensky stated, in order to completely close the skies of Ukraine from Russian drones and missiles, 25 Patriot systems are needed.
According to Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Ukraine has already found 100 free Patriot systems in the world, but first wants to obtain 7 of them. However, as the minister noted, Ukraine’s priority is not only Patriot, but also Samp-T systems, which are also capable of shooting down ballistics.
Today, as Kuleba said, Ukraine is negotiating to receive two Patriot batteries and one Samp-T battery.
