The article notes that the administration of US President Joe Biden categorically refused to provide the Ukrainian army with long-range tactical missile systems, considering the possible risks in the context of the confrontation with Russia.
Political observers, citing estimates of military experts, conclude that the presence of such advanced systems as Patriot and ATACMS in the Armed Forces will not give a decisive advantage. Most likely, they will not be suitable for performing tasks in Ukraine due to their specific performance characteristics, the experts added.
As an example, the article notes that the American Patriot is an anti-aircraft missile system designed to counter ICBMs and high-flying aircraft. At the same time, it is emphasized that this type of weaponry is not entirely suitable for the tasks of the Ukrainian army to destroy conventional missiles and UAVs.
