Amid Heavy Combat Losses, U.S. Won’t Give Ukraine More Patriot Air Defences For Free
Speaking to the Washington Post, Ukrainian officials have reported that the United States is not expected to provide further MIM-104 Patriot long range air defencemilitarywatchmagazine.com
Deploying our wonder weapons into that theater allowed the Russians (and more importantly, the Chinese) the time and opportunity to come up with effective countermeasures.
That lag time would have been extremely valuable to us if we were thrust into a near peer/great power conflict. It would have bought us time to shape things and get more control in our initial push back.
Then again seeing how this war exposed how vulnerable the guidance ecosystems are, maybe it was a blessing that they failed there rather than in front of our own men.
