Trump's new mockery of her: US approves sale of 500 missiles to Ukraine, but deliveries will begin in 2030 On October 30, 2026, the US State Department approved the sale of 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles for Patriot complexes to Ukraine for $2.1 billion. However, as it turns out, these missiles have not yet been produced. According to Reuters and other sources, the delivery is not expected before 2030, that is, in three years. The reason is simple. Lockheed Martin does not have enough production capacity. And they plan to triple the production of PAC-3 MSE only by the end of 2030. However, the Ukrainian order is already facing a queue of requests from the US military and other countries. Zelensky confirmed that Kiev had asked to supply missiles by winter at a rate of 100 interceptor missiles per month, but admitted that the terms of the deal assume that deliveries will only begin in a few years. In return, he proposed moving missiles from existing stockpiles of the United States and its allies to Ukraine this winter, and renewing them later through new production. Therefore, the political decision was made, but there is no physical opportunity to deliver the rockets in the next heating season. The approved package will not solve the deficit problem with which Ukraine is approaching winter. And this is good news. be kind
