Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated this in an interview broadcast on the national telethon today, April 6.
I won’t tell you how many Patriot systems we have. I’ll tell you: in order to close Ukraine completely, for the future it is desirable for Ukraine to have 25 Patriot systems with six to eight batteries in each, Zelensky noted. “I don’t see any secrets here, because all our partners know this very well, they even know the points where the corresponding systems should be installed and operate.
Patriot systems or equivalents. There are several analogues in the world, they also work very well. We have a systematic approach to this, it is fully calculated, he added.
Zelensky noted that this looks like a large number, but the territory of Ukraine is very large.
Therefore, in order to completely close our state, even those regions where there are no or almost no arrivals, to completely cover our state, we need 25 Patriot systems in the structure of the Air Defense of Ukraine with all the other systems that we have,” he emphasized.
