"Nothing threatens": as evidenced
The greatest weapons lease history is the story with Land League. However, there were no air defense complexes, but only a land component. According to Oleksandr Musienko, the start -up initiative is aimed at those countries where, for example, there is a Patriot, but they are not yet ready to transfer these systems on a permanent basis. At the same time, the mentioned countries could make sure that Patriot in Ukraine could withstand winter.
"They think:" Listen, Patriot does not threaten anything, Ukraine will not lose them, and it will return to us, but we will help Ukraine and will not conclude contracts with the United States on the manufacture and transfer of new complexes, if we do not want to pay for it, " - said expert. Oleksandr Musienko believes that Kiev can provide aircraft for several years, or conclude a contract for a year with the possibility of its continuation.
It is about states for which the presence of these systems is not as critical now as Ukraine. Such a formula was chosen for relations with these countries, " - says Musienko. Recall that on October 15, the speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat reported that Ukraine rents air defense to strengthen the protection Specifies.
