After the massive ballistic missile attack? Huh.
Israel is switching over to “David’s Sling”. It may be a bit antiquated, but given it brought down Goliath it may still be usefull against ballistic missiles. Anyway, this is huge if it becomes true.
Isn’t it ironic that these outdated systems which are getting decommissioned are still better than the most modern russian missiles?
Woo hoo!
That would make a serious difference.
8 batteries of patriot. Phew I mean dear lord that’d cover all the needs.
Will they have enough to cover the whole front?
fk ya best news i seen all year.
It’s a good investment. Every slightly outdated Russian aircraft, missile or drone these systems shoot down over Ukraine is one piece of Russian military equipment less on sale for Israel’s enemies in the foreseeable future.
Added benefit is a foot in the door to the Ukrainian government and the battlefield, guaranteeing the latest insights into Iranian military tech.
Batteries? 8? Isn’t that like 64 launchers or am I delusional? But if it ain’t that, let’s see if it happens
If this is true, then this will be a HUGE development for Ukraine. It will be near completing the 15 total systems they’ve asked for to protect the skies. There will be much less russian air craft even coming close to the frontline, and the amount of drones/missiles shot down will exponentially increase. Please let this negotiation work out and get those Patriot systems to Ukraine ASAP. Slava Ukraini!
