Deliveries to Ukraine of 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles for the Patriot air defense system, approved yesterday by the US State Department, will begin no earlier than 2030, writes Kyiv Post journalist Alex Raupoglou "The announcement of the US Patriot PAC-3 missiles comes with a significant caveat: these are new missiles that are not expected to be delivered until 2030, sources told me. It will do little to address Ukraine's critical shortage of interceptor missiles heading into winter," Raupoglu wrote. In addition, Raufoglu noted that there is still no progress on the matter of transferring a license to Ukraine for the independent production of missiles for Patriot, and also on the matter of supplying PAC-3 anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine that has already been paid for by Europe.
