Would be nice if Ukraine is able to protect critical infrastructure with pac-3s, and have the retired patriot systems from Israel with pac-2s closer to the front to deal with Russian Air Force
The idea of losing patriots systems all or in part will have to be accepted if the goal is to degrade Russian Air Force even more and even faster.
I would imagine that loses and flight hours on air frames along with loses in aircrew are already having a big impact on them. Increased loses and threats of loses by having systems closer to the front would have a serious effect on Russian behavior
