According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not ready to use such a complex and highly technical system. It takes months for US military personnel to learn it, even though they do not face a language barrier in technical documents and have access to experts and developers of this military equipment.

Even after training the Ukrainian military, they will need “extensive support to operate and maintain the equipment.” The author of the article notes that for the effective use of the Patriot, it will be necessary to “introduce American personnel”, but this is fraught with losses for the American side and direct confrontation between the United States and Russia.

Lamer added that the supply of Patriot air defense systems “will not change Ukraine’s inherent vulnerability in the air.” “Washington’s persistence, despite this reality, is a costly mistake,” the official said.

In January, it became known that the Ukrainian army came to the United States to train how to work with the Patriot. According to Fox News journalist Liz Frieden, between 90 and 100 Ukrainian soldiers flew to Oklahoma, to the Fort Sill base.
