US considers sending Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine
2022-12-15
[FoxNews] U.S. plans to send Ukraine the Patriot missile defense system are underway, Fox News confirmed Tuesday, though Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has not formally signed off on the transfer.

The news comes following weeks of speculation that Kyiv may receive the top weaponry after a senior defense official in November said Washington was considering sending Ukraine the system.

Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday there were no specific plans to send the system, but noted that the U.S. was not ruling it out.

This is inevitable, especially as Russia gets pushed back toward its own borders.

#3  ...I got a bad feeling about this. depending on where the batteries are located, it could come close to actually covering Russian territory. I'm behind the Ukranians 100%, but this might be too far.
