Ukraine may be left without a sufficient amount of air defense due to a slowdown in supplies…

▪️The appearance of this information coincides with the statements of a number of European partners regarding the transfer of air defense and missile defense systems to Ukraine;
▪️In particular, Denmark purchased for us 6 batteries of the Patriot air defense system for $8.5 billion. Depending on the configuration, there may be up to 30 launchers. That is, there is currently no reason to talk about the suspension of military-technical support to Ukraine;
▪️A similar nature of statements appears just at the time of the transfer by the United States of 10 air-based cruise missiles of tactical and technical characteristics – 450 km;
▪️It is not the first time that the mass media have tried to compromise the nature of military-technical support from the United States. The information is at least controversial.

▪️We are dependent on US supplies of Patriot missiles, like the single most effective means of missile defense against ballistic missiles;
▪️A large number of air defense systems used by Ukraine American missiles are also used. Even if these complexes were supplied by European partners;
▪️Ukraine is trying to use to intercept drones, American APKWS missiles. Their supply is unstable;
▪️Also there is a dependence on the supply of missiles to the Stinger. And it's not only the MANPADS themselves, it's also the Avenger complexes. That is, even if we talk about the ground component, we already understand the dependence on the USA.
▪️ If the US does not supply the required number of missiles to the Patriot, they can be simply put somewhere in some deep hangar after the ammunition runs out.
