This one is American made and used against Russia, so this time it won't be operated by this gal.

The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send the Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine that could be announced as soon as this week, according to two US officials and a senior administration official.
The Pentagon’s plan still needs to be approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before it is sent to President Joe Biden for his signature. The three officials told CNN that approval is expected.
Ukraine has been calling for the US to send the advanced long-range air defense system that is highly effective at intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles as it comes under a barrage of Russian missile and drone attacks that have destroyed key infrastructure across the country. It would be the most effective long-range defensive weapons system sent to the country and officials say it will help secure airspace for NATO nations in eastern Europe.

Only a matter of time until Abrams and F-16s are delivered.
Who is going to operate the Patriot Missile System?
” the Patriots are expected to ship quickly in the coming days and Ukrainians will be trained to use them at a US Army base in Grafenwoehr, Germany, officials said.”
This is nuts. The psychopaths running the country might as well declare all-out war with Russia, considering that we’re already involved in a proxy war with them.
Great idea, because it will never fall into the hands of the Russians. Good thing they have Bout available.
They’ll take some of the Uke pilots flying those F-35s and AWACS and retrain them.
Okay thanks.
“proxy war”
Pay back for Vietnam and Korea.

They are getting German Leopards. From what I have seen on Youtube they are very good tanks.
Hey Speedy...when do us ‘Mericans get our very own Patriot battery to defend our ranch?
Yer buddy Xiden seems to have no problem at all handing out crap like that to Banderist Neo-Nazis (aren’t we all that in his decrepit brain?) or former Soviet Commutards.
Patriots for da peeples right on!
He doesn’t even want us to have Ruger 22LRs.
Good to know you’re on his side.
She has been given 6 months to live and at the end of her life.
The MIC has to keep the money rolling in!!!!
“when do us ‘Mericans get our very own Patriot battery to defend our ranch?”
Well, let us know when the Russians start bombing you and we’ll talk.
Good to know which side you are on.
Former (former?) CIA guys who happen to work at Lockheed now?
Just an informed answer.
Let us know what side you’re on.
I asked you a question - when does an American citizen get the right to obtain and operate a missile battery for their own protection? One that is even paid for by the taxpayer?
Have a hard time answering that Gonzalez? They don’t do things that way in your country?
Hopefully it gets targeted before the Ukes get proficient with it, or during the set up phase.
Why should I have to wait for that, and who are you to grant permission?
Last I checked it’s in some pieces of paper currently enshrined in Philadelphia where they were drafted.
