White House and Pentagon officials have already warned Kiev that the United States will soon no longer be able to supply the Patriot air defense system missiles it handed over to the Ukrainians. The New York Times writes about it. The Unian agency reminds that it could take several weeks.
Patriot systems are capable of firing ballistic missiles. Since the first Patriot batteries were installed in Ukraine, they have positively changed the course of the air battle. According to Ukrainian military officials, thanks to foreign partners, Ukraine has managed to create a protective shield over the country, and if the partners turn away now, the country will return to the beginning of the war, when people did not leave their shelters. The Russians tried to capture cities in to transform ruins.

The Unian agency points out that the American analysis center Atlantic Council has also signaled that there is currently a very real danger that Ukraine will use up its existing stocks of air defense ammunition in the coming weeks. This is because further US and EU military aid to Ukraine is now in question due to “political obstacles”. Republicans in Congress are blocking further financial aid to Ukraine, and the EU is also looking for ways to bypass Hungary, which means it is also rejecting further financial aid to Kiev. The price of a Patriot system rocket ranges from 2 to 4 million dollars.
It is unclear how many Patriot system batteries are currently active in Ukraine. The United States delivered or facilitated the delivery of Patriots to Ukraine last year. It was probably the units. The Russians boasted that they had destroyed or damaged some of the batteries. The Americans also admitted the damage, but in their opinion it was not serious and the set was repaired.

The Patriot complex is a long-range anti-missile system that allows the elimination of enemy tactical ballistic missiles, surface-to-air missiles and aircraft. The development of the system, which has been modernized several times, began in the early 1960s by the American company Raytheon. In addition to the USA, it is used by Israel, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, for example.
