Ukraine is now getting the Patriot Missile Defense System.

There is no reason to think that will make any difference at all.

First, it would have to be set up before the Russians blow it up. Secondly, it takes months of training to learn how to use it.

Air defense systems are not plug-and-play.

“There is no reason to think that will make any difference at all.”

That sounds a lot like what a lot of the pro-Russia FReepers said about the HIMARS.

“Secondly, it takes months of training to learn how to use it.”

Oh, I think it’s probably a pretty good bet they have been trained on it.
