Ukrainian troops will receive training on the Patriot missile system in the US state of Oklahoma, American officials have said.
Around 90 to 100 soldiers will arrive from Ukraine at base Fort Sill as soon as next week, the Pentagon confirmed

The training at Fort Sill, where US artillery troops also train, is expected to take several months.
Ukraine has said the advanced missile defence system will be a game-changer in the war with Russia

Once fielded, the Patriot… will contribute to Ukraine's air defence capabilities, and provide another capability to the Ukrainian people to defend themselves against Russia's ongoing aerial assaults," Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder told reporters at a briefing on Tuesday

Last month, during a visit to Washington by Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, President Joe Biden announced that the US would provide Ukraine with a Patriot missile battery.


In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked the Patriot system as outdated and said Russia's military would "knock down" its defences.
Patriot missiles are a surface-to-air system capable of destroying fast aerial targets such as cruise missiles
One battery is typically crewed by 90 troops who must undergo one year of training.
Ukraine's troops will receive expedited training, which is still expected to take several months to complete. The training will include classroom sessions and work in a simulation lab.

Last week, Germany announced it would also provide a Patriot system to Ukraine. Berlin also said it would provide armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine, while France said it would send light tanks.
The Patriot announcement came as President Biden met the leaders of Canada and Mexico for a summit in Mexico City

Also on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that country would buy a US-made National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (Nasams) for Ukraine

This is the first Canadian donation of an air defence system to Ukraine," Canada's Defence Minister, Anita Anand, said on Twitter

The short and medium range surface-to-air defence system will cost Canada C$406m ($300m; £250m) and is in addition to the C$500m that Canada promised to Ukraine in November

Patriot systems, widely considered the most advanced air defence system in the world, cost more than $1bn for a single battery. Russia's military has said they will be prioritised as targets

They need be trained on how to use some of the Military equipments being given to them.

USA, Europe and some NATO countries have mercenaries in Ukraine but heard most have refused to continue fighting for Ukraine + new foreign mercenaries have refused to come onboard hence it's now left for Ukrainians to be trained on how to use those equipments.

See eh, those trainings takes time even when rushed.

Na USA dey enjoy for this conflict abeg. All these expenses, you go think say dem dey run loss

Mumu, you think a patriot missiles systems is ABC, don't you know you have to be trained to use such weapons system.
During the hay days of ww2 countries were inventing new weapons, and testing them before introducing them to the frontlines,

I don't want to encourage you but you need to understand some things in war

you consider objectives, you consider cost, you consider damage etc.

Russia's objective is not to overrun Ukraine.

The cost of an anti missile range from 450k USD to 1 million USD. the cost of a drone is 20k USD, ask any sensible human being, it is economics efficient in Russia's part.

Russia Mercenaries is the same as US veterans, every right thinking military command don't send service men when they can use Army veterans ( mercenaries), they keep the better for the last.


I want you to tell me the percentage of Ukraine's landmass in Russia's control. that's how you determine if they are progressing or not.

What was Putin objective, when he started the war??
Wasn't it to overrun and change the government,
Putin only change it objectives when he found out that's it's overrated military isn't as capable as he thought they were.

Secondly, the patriot surface to air missile is not used for shooting drones,please get your facts right..
The Ukraine are not asking for missiles for shooting drones instead for shooting Russian Cruise missiles.

Please your thinking is flawed, that a well thinking military uses mercenaries , jezx WTF are you saying man, dose that even makes sense to you.
The reason Russia is using Wagner, is because the military has performs badly,
Was Wagner involved during the first stages of the war??
You are so funny, calling mercenaries, army vets, yes army vets can join but they are not Only for ex service men,.

Russia is holding large area mass of Ukraine land, but the questions you should be asking yourself is in the last five month's lookat the land mass the Ukrainians have taken back, and have the Russians made any significant advance in the last 8 months
