2. Straight to Odessa I hope.

3. Jawohl!!! SkyNex for the win! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
   That’s a very, very good decision!

4. How does this anti-air system compare to Patriot batteries, Gerard, S300’s or SAMPT, etc?

5. The interesting thing: Rheinmetal will send it there. Not the german goverment…
   I am sure, not without the goverments permission, but still…

6. Wow, these are cutting edge, this is excellent news. Would love to see these keep the skies clear of Lancet drones.

7. Just pretty please protect them from lancets

8. For those that know little to nothing about this system (like me)

   [Video 1](https://youtu.be/1DXpPmpmcak) gives a bit of background on the system.

   [Video 2](https://youtu.be/pb5_F4_Eod8) gives you a live demonstration.

   Summary: Pretty bad ass.

9. I was waiting for an arms manufacturer to take these steps, it’s shocking that it’s a German company that sees this opportunity and is willing to take this brave stance. They have started pushing for investment in Ukraine that is extreamly smart.

10. According to some reports back in April, the Skynex systems have already been delivered. Hopefully more will be on the way.

11. Excellent news

12. Great news. Send it straight to Odesa for protection and marketing purposes.

13. SkyNex?

    Wouldn’t SkyNe**t** be a better name for an automated air defense network?

    … oh, wait … never mind …
