Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that on the night of 31 July-1 August, Ukraine's Air Force managed to intercept only one out of 27 Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors and called on partners to provide additional air defence capabilities.
Just to save you a click.
who would’ve thought..
Because rest was heading to Poland so why he should care.....
Not sure if US will really allow Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles. Hope so.
Even if they do, the time it would take to spin up new pac-3 production lines wouldnt be in time to affect the outcome of this war. The next one when Russia tries again, maybe.
It won't matter, just setting up the supply chain to produce Patriots will take years. US actually already gave that license to several countries and not all of them got to actually producing any.

Boeing has already spoken against it and Trump has seemingly backed down from it as well. It would at best take 2-3 years to even begin production and even then it would not meet their needs.
Then the blueprints and missiles will inevitably leak in to the market right in the hands of terrorists, because corruption.
Oh come on, of course not. It’s just one of those quirky things the smartest man on this planet said.
Trump changed his mind and said that he will not allow Ukraine to have the patent to build Patriot missiles because Trump always chooses the most cruel, sadistic, destructive and sould-crushing option available to him. Trump is letting Putin destroy Ukraine because Putin is Satanic and Trump respects that.
Trump said he isn't sure anymore. Aka no. Never should have had hope in the first place, he would never help
