❗️Ukraine will not receive THAAD anti-missile system from the United States – Ukrainian mediaA representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Kyiv may request THAAD after a strike by Russia's new Oreshnik ballistic missile on a site in the Dnieper. Ukraine had already approached the United States with a similar request in December last year, but Washington did not provide such a system then.
There are few chances even now, the media report. The cost of THAAD is about $3 billion.
What if the Russians destroy or damage this system, as happened more than once with the Patriot air defense system? Still, 3 billion dollars is not small money, three times the price of the Patriot installation.
