Threat to Patriot: NATO representative said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation damaged the radar of the air defense complex

The second blow took place a few weeks ago, the article is said. NATO representative answered the question of military assistance details of Ukraine. According to him, some of the weapons are in a planned manner, and part is a prompt response to troubles. In the context of operational problems, Keller voiced information about two strokes of the Russian Federation on the Patriot Locator. When the radar was urgently brought to the manufacturer to Germany, experts reported that "it is full write -off.

" At the same time, the expectation of a new device is several years, but Ukraine could not wait because of the threats from the Russian Federation. To help the Ukrainians, Visbaden experts (headquarters of the US Land Forces Command in Europe and Africa, USareur-AF) joined the case. According to Major General, people worked 16 hours a day for a week, but still restored the radar. Eventually, in July, the radar was returned for combat duty, but he received damage again, Keller said.

"We did not embarrass this and mobilized people from Visbaden, real masters from the Air Force, who managed to launch a radar again. They worked 16-hour changes from Monday to Saturday, and in July we delivered a radar back to Ukraine. Last week we received the first damage to this radar," the officer said. While talking to journalists, Keller touched other issues of military assistance to Ukraine.

According to him, after coming to the White House of Donald Trump, arms receipts slowed down somewhat, but later resumed. According to the NATO officer, the Alliance's logistics transports 18,000 tons of help on a monthly basis. In addition, there is a special fund for 100 million euros - for urgent costs. For these funds, they purchased, for example, 100 ATVs for new mobile fire operations on the front line. The military also explained why they have almost been talking about tanks lately.

According to Keller, the nature of the war has changed, and now there is no need for this type of military equipment. On the other hand, the role of drones has increased significantly: in particular, Ukraine plans to bring production of up to 10 million units. For a year, NATO representative told. The Ukrainian command has not yet commented on NATO Major General Mike Keller. It should be noted that in July Focus wrote about Patriot SCC, which will be provided by Western partners to Ukraine.

At first, US President Donald Trump spoke about new air defense complexes. One speech of the White House Head was a statement about 16-17 units: it was not clear, it is about complexes, launchers or missiles. Analysts have explained that it is most likely about starting installations that European partners have talked about before. We would like to remind you that at the end of July it became known that Germany will provide Ukraine with two Patriots.
