A major air defense aid package has arrived in Ukraine to help defend its stricken energy infrastructure as the country-wide winter energy crisis deepens, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Jan. 16.
The arrival of the package, further details about which were not disclosed, came at a point when several of the surface-to-air missile systems in Ukraine were left “without missiles,” the Ukrainian president said.
Each successive delivery of extra air defense support from Ukraine’s partners is being begged and fought for, said Zelensky, who noted that Ukraine’s needs extended far beyond the well-known U.S.-built Patriot system.
Also, the munition itself is only one piece of the system required to make it go boom… Not to mention being able to send it to the place you want it to go boom and have it go boom at the exact right time
