The IDF will retire it’s Patriot systems over the next two months! Per SIPRI, the IDF has 3 Patriot batteries in the PAC-2 GEM+ configuration. It’s imperative that the Biden Admin seek to buy these systems back from Israel for Ukraine, using the USAI funds just appropriated by the Supplemental.

  1. I doubt that the IDF would retire them at this time if they would be still usable.

  2. Let me get this straight… The USA gives Israel money to buy Patriot systems from US defence contractors, and then later gives Israel more money so The USA can buy those systems back?

    Am I missing something?

  3. Why is it on America Isreali could give the to Ukraine its not like the US hasn’t given Isreali enough support they got what 14 billion to bomb children and defend itself vs neighbour that don’t like them partly because the bomb children not saying they aren’t cunts also

  4. Like a used car with mileage, should only cost pennies on the dollar.

  5. Unless Israel donates them it ain’t happening. I’ve lost nearly all trust in Biden administration and thus I do not believe the buy/transfer thing will happen by the US. But I surely hope to be proven wrong.

  6. PAC2 canโ€™t shoot down ballistic missiles, which is what Ukraine uses patriots for. More air defense is good but this is the meh variant that wonโ€™t be much better than any of their other air defense .

  7. We shouldn’t need to buy them back since we bought them in the first place. Israel can just ship them straight to Ukraine.

  8. Itโ€™d be nice if Israel donated them considering the amount of foreign aid we give them.
