The situation with Patriot interceptors for Ukraine will start to improve only in a year, -. Bloomberg.
Then Ukraine will start receiving missiles produced in Europe, in particular in Germany and Poland. Berlin is supposed to produce 600 RAS-2 missiles for Kiev in 2017-2028, and Warsaw - an unknown number of RAS-3.
Currently, European inventories of RAS-2 and RAS-3 interceptors are minimal, and allies often refuse to hand them over to Ukraine without a clear commitment from the US for new supplies, sources told Bloomberg.
It was also noted in the publication that Donald Trump's promise regarding the authorized production of Patriot interceptors in Ukraine has not yet been fulfilled, as has the plan to develop low-cost air defense systems announced in February.
As you may remember, earlier the adviser of the President of Ukraine, Seri Baskarstanov, stated that Russia produces more ballistic missiles than all other countries - intercepting a Patriot in order to shoot them down.
