Official representatives of the White House and the Pentagon have warned that there is a threat that the United States will soon be unable to supply missiles for the Patriot air defense systems handed over to Ukraine due to a lack of funding, the New York Times reported.
The publication states that the value of the missiles can reach between 2 and 4 million dollars per piece. The “Patriot” complexes effectively shoot down ballistic and other types of missiles – from the moment of receiving them, Ukraine managed to gain supremacy in the battle for the Ukrainian sky, adds the UNIAN agency, quoted by Trud.
In a comment for the publication, a major from the Ukrainian army emphasized that thanks to foreign partners, Kiev was able to build an air shield over the country and that if the partners stop supplying missiles, Ukraine will return to the situation at the beginning of the war, when people did not leave bomb shelters .
The American think tank Atlantic Council has warned that there is now a real danger that Ukraine will run out of ammunition for air defense systems in the coming weeks.
The threat is actually related to the fact that further US and European Union military aid to Ukraine is running into “political obstacles”, writes UNIAN.
