Reserve Colonel: “The Patriot promised to Zelensky is an experimental model”
The United States is going to replace its air defense with modernized samples of the Patriot complex, which in a copy of one battery is sent to Ukraine for testing in real combat conditions.
Former senator, reserve colonel, and participant in the military operations in Afghanistan, Franz Klintsevich, stated this on air on "Soloviev Live," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The “Patriot” they will supply is deeply modernized, and they are supplying it with only one battery only in order to conduct real military combat tests. This is also due to the fact that I do not rule out the possibility of some new developments that they are doing.
And the Americans are testing everything from artificial intelligence and a huge space constellation tied into an automatic control system for reconnaissance and strike complexes, ground headquarters with a center for making a single decision on working on the battlefield and hitting targets.
Of course, they bring and test new weapons, which are being seriously developed, in such small quantities with their specialists, scientific developers, weapons operation specialists,” Klintsevich said.
“Therefore, the deeply modernized Patriot will be tested, they need it, since they produced it in sufficient quantities, in order to replace the current air defense systems of the old, including the Soviet model, from NATO members - former Warsaw Pact countries, and transfer them to others . All this for money. Well, they will install for themselves those that are now being tested and developed, and they will definitely appear,” added the former senator.
