CNN is claiming Washington may finalize plans to send the Patriot air defense missile system to Ukraine. However, what CNN doesn't say is just as important: - The US says it will send the missiles in days after the decision is made; - It takes MONTHS to train crews to operate the Patriot missile system; - NATO personnel will likely operate the missile system posing as Ukrainians; - The Patriot missile system is suffering a global missile shortage; - Lockheed will double missile production but it will take years to do so; - Both current and future production numbers CANNOT match the number of cruise missiles alone Russia is producing per month; - Russia is also using Iskander missiles, Geran-2 drones, as well as a number of inert decoys which will place even more pressure on Ukrainian air defenses; - The performance of Patriot missile systems in Saudi Arabia has been poor; - Patriot missiles will face more sophisticated and more numerous threats in Ukraine than in Saudi Arabia; References: FT - Military briefing: escalating air war depletes Ukraine’s weapons stockpile: CNN - Exclusive: US finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine: Al Jazeera - Saudi Arabia may run out of interceptor missiles in ‘months’: WSJ - U.S. Sends Patriot Missiles to Saudi Arabia, Fulfilling Urgent Request: Defense News - Lockheed to double Patriot missile production as orders explode: NYT - Russian Cruise Missiles Were Made Just Months Ago Despite Sanctions: NYT - Russia Is Using Old Ukrainian Missiles Against Ukraine, General Says: NBC News - Why U.S. Patriot missiles failed to stop drones and cruise missiles attacking Saudi oil sites: Where to Find My Work: Website: Telegram: Twitter: Odysee (YouTube alternative): @LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): Weibo: ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): Line Group: Gab: VK (Facebook alternative): How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: Patreon: PromptPay: 0851547235 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR
