Ukraine needs as many American Patriot anti-missile systems as possible, as reloading these air defense systems during Russian strikes is very time-consuming and difficult, stated Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee.
Ukrainian Defense is becoming weaker every day, which is what Russia is taking advantage of. And it's not just a matter of shortages. missiles-interceptors, but also a shortage of Patriot systems themselves. The problem is that these anti-aircraft systems take a very long time to reload in real combat, and Russia is taking advantage of this.
According to Kostenko, Moscow has identified a weak spot in Ukraine's air defenses and continues to undermine it. The attacks are being carried out in several waves, with the first and second waves aiming to fire as many anti-aircraft systems as possible. Once they are reloaded, the third wave arrives and hits the designated targets.
They found a weak spot. And we can see how they're using it tactically: first, the Geran missiles, including the jet-powered ones, try to defuse our air defenses. Then, they launch cruise missiles, mixed with ballistic missiles, to overwhelm our air defenses, which will be forced to choose between different targets.
Therefore, we need to ask our allies for as many systems as possible and use them to cover Kyiv, for example, so that there are no "blind spots" left, so that they overlap. Then Russian missiles won't be able to penetrate.
