US to accelerate delivery of Patriot systems to Ukrainian Armed Forces – Pentagon

The US Department of Defense also noted that training time for the Ukrainian military has been reduced from ten to eight weeks.

Anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) Patriot Ukraine will receive from the United States faster than expected. Ukrainian military training is about to end. This was said by representatives of the Pentagon, reports CNN on Tuesday, March 21.

The Ukrainians after completing their training in the United States will go to Europe for further training on two more Patriot systems – one American and one made by Germany and the Netherlands. These air defense systems will be deployed in the coming weeks on the territory of Ukraine.

The American trainers were able to speed up the training time, because the Ukrainian military has knowledge of the air defense systems, the Pentagon said.

“By our assessment, Ukrainian soldiers are amazing and absolutely fast learners. Thanks to their extensive knowledge of air defense and experience in the war zone, it is easier for them – even if not it became easy – to understand the concepts of operation and maintenance of the Patriot system,” he emphasized. Brigadier General Shane Morgan.

He added that the training was completed in eight weeks, while it was originally planned to last ten weeks. The training schedule was “aggressive” – ​​the Ukrainians trained every day from 7 am to 6 pm.

Recall that Ukraine should receive Patriot complexes from the United States, Germany and the Netherlands. The Office of the President announced the time of acceptance of these systems.

In addition, Spanish media reported that Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that Ukraine has already received Patriot air defense. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Poland denied this information in an information request. They reported that Blaszczak indicated that thanks to the efforts of Poland, a decision was made to transfer the Patriot to Ukraine, and the statement about receiving the complexes could be due to an error during the transfer.
