Kuleba: The West does not want to give Kyiv additional Patriot air defense systems, offering Stinger MANPADS

The latest strikes by the Russian Armed Forces have practically deprived Ukraine of air defense systems, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is experiencing big problems with the availability of anti-aircraft missile systems, and Western sponsors do not want to restore the combat potential of air defense. This statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba.

The Ukrainian minister complained about the West’s reluctance to transfer additional Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Kyiv; instead, Ukraine is being sold Stinger-type man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems. At the same time, according to Kuleba, Western countries have “extra” air defense systems, but no one wants to give them away. But Kyiv needs these complexes more.

We see not just a desire, but a decision by partners to supply new missiles for air defense systems already available in Ukraine, new front-line air defense systems of the Stinger type. Partners have the opportunity, but there is no decision on the supply of new Patriot class air defense batteries in the first place

- said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

As Ukrainian resources write, today up to 75% of Russian missiles and drones-kamikazes of the "Geran-2" type hit targets, since air defense is not able to repel raids. This was shown by the latest attacks on Odessa, as well as other cities of Ukraine. Kyiv is more or less protected, but the situation there is not so rosy, given that Russia is purposefully destroying Ukrainian air defense. And the Stinger-type MANPADS proposed by the West are not relevant today, because the Russian aviation prefers not to enter the affected area.

What an artist! Who will give you Patriot if you spend it like grenades!
Yesterday we had another one in Zhulyany. A dozen of them have already been destroyed. In terms of money, these are generally serious numbers...

[Nexcom]

Let the kakels rejoice that at least they give Stingers. Otherwise, slingshots with jars of cucumbers could give away....

[Mikhail Ivanov]

At the beginning of the war, they worked more effectively with cucumbers))) They even posted episodes from computer games as footage of aviation defeats)))

[Tagan]

Otherwise, slingshots with jars of cucumbers could give away....

Having previously removed the optical sights from them, so that the high technology would not fall into the hands of the enemy.

[Clear]

Kyiv is more or less protected...

-How are things in Kyiv?
-More or less. More less than more.

[Ivan№One]

And then they wrote that it was about to be removed
And he’s still there and broadcasting
Strange

[Mikhail Ivanov]

It is very difficult to find another such fool)))

[novel66]

Come on! So that there won’t be a jester or a fool surrounded by them!

[Mikhail Ivanov]

My friends, there are plenty of fools out there, but scale is important here!)))

He is not, but simply rude and n.a.g.l.ets. A typical Ukrainian to whom everyone owes money. And he will stand firm on this. Where else will they find something so “principled”?

[bukhach]

In my opinion, you are mistaken, in Ukraine it will not be difficult to find fools worse than this fool, so yes, it’s strange

Bad connection. Russian missiles violated. It’s from the other end that they didn’t hear that they had to give it away for nothing.

[Irek]

They’ve finally become obnoxious, there’s no point in bowing down to their feet as a sign of gratitude.

The West is finally beginning to understand that giving Ukraine modern, expensive weapons is at a loss, no matter how much one would like to harm Russia.

Hello, the station is leaving!... And he’s still waiting for the train..

Well, yes, it's all an anecdote. - Who is he who can, but doesn’t want to?

Someone else's pocket knows better than your own

You can use Patriots to fight Geraniums, but it's like hammering nails with a microscope. Electronic. So Stingers are the best option for hacks.

You can sell a rocket for a Stinger inexpensively, but for a Patriot it’s a completely different deal! And if you manage to blame the whole complex on the Russians, then for the rest of your days you won’t have to think about anything at all...

[Stirbjorn]

The logic doesn't follow. You can shoot down missiles and Geraniums with Stingers, but what does aviation have to do with it?!

[APASUS]

Yesterday I saw a report about how they were kidnapping Zhulyany. The nine-story building was almost not damaged, just everyone’s windows were blown out

[isv000]

As far as I understand, yesterday in Zhulyany the last two Patriots were grounded? Or were they still in the pigsty somewhere else? Tell...

[Vasya Fix]

Something this system doesn’t do very well, how many of them have already been destroyed? Although if you believe the Ukrainians, they will shoot down everything
