The analyst stated about the units remaining in the Ukrainian Armed Forces Patriot systems

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have only a few installations of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This opinion was expressed by military expert Alexei Zhivov on Friday, July 25.

"Judging by the fact that even the two Patriot installations that Germany promises to transfer are critically important, they probably have literally a few of them left, maybe one, two, three installations. And the missiles to them, which are capable of intercepting modern Russian ballistic cruise missiles, apparently, have not remained at all," Zhivov said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

He also added that judging by the fact that the United States has approved a budget for the repair of its air defense systems in Ukraine, many of them need maintenance.
