“Simple mathematics” indicates that Ukraine’s air defense needs to be strengthened now, the minister said.
Ukraine’s air defense needs to be strengthened as much as possible because it costs less than rebuilding damaged power plants after Russia’s shelling. Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba wrote this in Twitter on Tuesday, October 31st.
He published an infographic with “simple math” to support Ukraine. This indicates that the cost of one missile for the Patriot anti-aircraft complex costs about $4.1 million, and the cost of restoring the damaged power plant is more than $19 million.
“That is why it makes sense to greatly strengthen Ukraine’s air defense now to save resources later. The human lives saved by air defense are priceless,” said minister
We remind you that Germany is preparing a winter military package for Ukraine worth 1.4 billion euros. This includes the Patriot complex and other air defense systems.
It has also been reported that the Netherlands will supply Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
