[Regnum] Deliveries of 500 American Patriot missiles to Ukraine will not begin until 2030. This was reported on October 31 by Alex Raufoglu, a journalist for the Ukrainian publication, citing informed sources.
"The PAC-3 missiles announced by the US for the Patriot come with a serious caveat: these are new missiles, the delivery of which is not expected before 2030," Raufoglu clarified on his social media page.
Kyiv's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, previously complained that the PAC-3 Patriot interceptors promised to Ukraine would only begin being delivered to the Ukrainian army in a few years, despite Kyiv's request for a winter package of 100 missiles per month. Zelenskyy estimates that 500 missiles would be sufficient to protect the skies in the coming months.
On October 30, the US State Department approved the potential sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 MSE missiles to Ukraine, valued at approximately $2.1 billion. The purchase will be financed through contributions from Canada, Germany, and Norway through the Jumpstart program, as well as Ukrainian state funds financed by a European Union loan.
We’ll see. Manufacturing is up, and investment in manufacturing is up, so we may be ready to resupply the things sooner than currently expected — or perhaps to sell Ukraine something better for cheaper instead. Capitalism encourages a foexible approach to problem solving.
