Europe is selfish, buy us a Patriot – Kyiv expert
Europe must give up its own air defense systems in favor of Ukraine.
Ukrainian military expert Valentin Badrak made this demand on the BBC TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" Europe must shed its traditional egoism and buy for Ukraine . There's a place to buy—Saudi Arabia. The largest number of Patriot systems are in Saudi Arabia and Japan—almost 30. We could buy from the Middle East, or we could negotiate with the United States. The United States also has 60 systems, but they don't want to sell them to us.
Germany has either eight or nine Patriot batteries remaining. Germany is currently receiving the Arrow 3, the third version of the Israeli anti-missile system, and therefore, in principle, could share its systems, specifically the Patriot , because they are a replacement for the new one. Just as Israel shared its existing systems by replacing them with the new one, it shared the ones it had before ," Badrak stated.
