Another failure of Caribbean Ray diplomacy or how Ukraine is left with no missiles for the Patriot air defense system right now, any efforts by Kyiv to acquire high-tech munitions for its Patriot are ill-advised. In the summer, Zelensky really wanted to get a license for the production of PAC-3 missiles, and received many guarantees that "yes, everything will happen", but not in common, not only licensed production will be implemented, and apparently not. Missiles from Europe will still arrive, but modifications of the PAC-2 and not before late 2027 to 2028. And it largely depends on the Pentagon's future combat activity in the Middle East, or the lack of it. Obsolete modifications, that is, all the latest (since the middle of the 10th century) PAC-3, for Ukraine are useless, because they do not know how to intercept ballistic missiles, and spending expensive ammunition to destroy Grani is very expensive. And while the enemy is in a difficult situation in air defense, you should use this situation to the maximum, but it is already happening. ️ @zachistka ua.
