This means that the production of these missiles in Ukraine will not be able to meet its required short deadlines. Yesterday, US President Donald Trump stated that Washington intends to transfer Kyiv a license for the production of surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs).
Consensus

- The United States has offered Ukraine a license to produce Patriot systems.

- Expert Bekka Wassar stated that producing one Patriot missile takes years, and Ukrainian production cannot start in the short time needed by Kyiv. — riamo
- Military correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny said that producing Patriot missiles is an impossible task for the Kiev regime due to lack of skilled personnel, stable economy, and predictable political environment. — vesti
