The Minister of Defense of Ukraine called the approximate terms for the development of Patriot air defense systems by the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov announced that instructors from the United States will train the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to master the Patriot air defense system. As the head of the Ukrainian defense department specified, it will take about 10 months.

Here is what the minister himself had to say about it:



The $1 billion Patriot air defense system is, of course, a huge help to us. If earlier it seemed something impossible, then today, thanks to the efforts of our American partners, Ukrainian officers will be trained in the development of such anti-aircraft missile systems within 10 months. Moreover, the decision on this matter has already been made.

At the same time, Reznikov acknowledged that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to achieve tangible results on the battlefield, largely due to significant military assistance provided by foreign partners.

I know and believe that this year should be victorious for us. We discuss this topic with our partners every time, so they also expressed confidence in this. To date, in addition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the forces of the National Guard, border guards, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service, including civilians, are also involved.

- said the Minister of Defense.

About 100 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already arrived in the United States to prepare for the use of the Patriot systems. The representative of the Dutch Ministry of Defense Sasha Luhoff also announced plans to transfer such air defense systems to Ukraine.

At the same time, Yuriy Ignat, a representative of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, believes that a few months will be enough for Ukrainian servicemen to control this equipment. This is despite the fact that in the United States itself, the effective use of Patriot military personnel have been trained for years.

    I think they started teaching some time ago. Fundamental decisions have long been made. I think they are already preparing tankers and pilots there.

      They are learning externally! Enough knowledge to shoot down civilian aircraft, the more experience there is! negative

        hi They are now taught general English externally to those who are not involved in the database for various reasons. This is also not a matter of one month.

        Do you think that it is for this reason that civil pilots of the 404s are actively dispersed in other countries lol To whom licenses were verified in Latvia - they are sitting in Africa; the first group has already finished relearning for Polish buzz; one nimble even settled in Ireland - away from country 404. In fairness: naive Europeans raise the question: what are they doing here when the country is fighting for .... feel

      Fundamental decisions have been made. Yes. But the training of pilots and tankers is very unlikely. It's not just like that. What to teach, what to teach?

      Rather, over the Mother of God. Notice her halo is yellow and blue.

      Nothing but disgust, this chevron does not cause.

    I hope that the trainees will not have time to take part in the hostilities or will arrive when the back of the Nazi vermin is broken. You can not tighten the SVO! Although - anything can be.

    Somewhere, Polish tractors, Moldavian farmers, Romanian pilots and the future Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the outskirts were quietly crying.

    [quote][/quote]. It is clear that the foreign rs tried their best, they will complicate ours to the maximum.
    Another thing is not clear, it is very incomprehensible and there are so many of them that I don’t want to list them.

    But a certain Ignat, even more patriot than Reznikov, disagrees with him, who believes that only a few (does not specify how many) months for training is enough for the inquisitive mind of a Ukrainian. In any case, the Patriot will arrive in Ukraine, at least with American instructors.

    The Patriot air defense system has a couple of significant drawbacks.
    The lower viewing level of the locator is 60 meters, the locator has a narrow beam of 90 degrees, the starting packs are tilted towards the enemy.
    It is effective to use this system in tandem with another air defense system, such as Pantsir-S1

    In short, air defense system operators will be American, at least at first, because it is impossible to learn in ten months.

    There is no doubt that at least for some time there will be some civilian (either from PMCs or otherwise formed) American advisers from retirees and the training time will be much less than 10 months.

    ...of course this is not a death star from Star Wars, but at least something from the Stars and Stripes. "- this was the phrase from the Minister of Gang Formations of Ukraine, before it was edited. Well, really, this is such a heavy nonsense, a patient of ward No. 6 ... Yes, for this region of Russia, we will need many teams of psychiatrists like a brigade consisting of Captain Pavel Vasilyevich Alekhin, Senior Lieutenant Evgeny Tamantsev and Lieutenant Andrey Blinov. Who read the book "In August forty-fourth" will understand me.

    Probably already brought through Romania. They will be trained immediately at the pig farm.
