Israel transferred the patriots to Ukraine, which he received from the United States in the early 1990s.
According to Ukrinform, the Ambassador of Israeli of Ukraine Michael Brodsky reports.
According to Brodsky, Israel received these “patriots” from the United States when the first war in the Persian Gulf.
These systems are currently in Ukraine-this is a system that worked with Israel in the early 1990s, we agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. Unfortunately, they said little, but when they say that Israel did not help Ukraine in military terms, this is not true. Israel also helped in the military sense, ”he said.
When asked why Israel himself does not talk about military assistance to Ukraine, the ambassador noted that he would not want to talk about this topic, because it is very sensitive:
I always emphasize that it is better to speak on these topics not in press, not in public, but through special channels that exist. So, let’s leave this topic for specialists, for those who work in this direction.
How many complexes were transferred to Ukraine, the ambassador did not say. In April 2024, Times of Israel, referring to representatives of the country’s army, said that the Israeli Air Force was planned to be disabled for several months in operation of several anti-aircraft batteries of the MIM-104 Patriot’s complex, replacing them with a more modern air defense.
