General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: The West has plenty of Patriot missiles - but not for Ukraine
When the West talks about a shortage of missiles for the Patriot systems, we are talking about specially intended batches for disposal in Ukraine, which are reaching the end of their shelf life.
The former deputy commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Sergei Krivonos, stated this on the NewsRoom channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The leading propagandist noted that while Ukraine has effectively turned into “a testing ground for a number of air defense systems,” the Americans are running out of Patriot missiles.
“I see no reason to panic. I don’t know who set what plans for themselves, and why we painted such a picture for ourselves that everyone would give us all their reserves at the same time. There are more than enough missile reserves in the United States and in European countries. However, all their reserves are designed for those plans that have been worked out for their own security and security across NATO.
The assistance that goes to Ukraine comes from the missiles that are being updated. And they give us those that have reached the deadlines for use and storage, and they store new ones for combat duty and in warehouses. This is capitalism, no one there creates reserves that would be for someone. You pay money, you get products,” Krivonos explained.
