The first Patriot battery being in Ukraine was confirmed a long time ago. What’s new here is that Zelensky says another 2 will be activated before year’s end.
Israel operated a total of 8 batteries. But they’re old and need refurbishment in the US to bring them up to the standard Ukraine needs.

Considering Israel has it’s own domestic multi-layered air defense + US THAAD batteries, these patriot batteries will be put to much better use in Ukraine. Great news.

Ukraine and Israel – partners in fighting terrorism

Israel has better alternatives domestically anyway, because these Patriots are of a much older generation. Certainly would be best if they were all sent to Ukraine. Then these can take care of more simple targets, leaving Ukraine to use more advanced patriots for more complex targets

So Israel finally admits it — the Patriots are in Ukraine and more are coming. That’s a big escalation in defense support.

Ukraine and Israel both face existential threats (Russia and Islamic extremists respectively) that deny their sovereignty and existence.
The only difference is that Israel is winning and Ukraine is severely undermanned against Russia. They have a lot in common and it makes sense they are actively cooperating and supporting each other.

Doesn’t yahoo have Ukrainian roots?

Don’t like Israel for obvious reasons but can’t blame Ukraine for taking the missiles. This war is survival and sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil if you want to win.

Wow, I am really perplexed as an online political advocate who loves talking about countries that have nothing to do with me. Am I allowed to root for Israel in this scenario?

I wished he would shut up and stop sharing information, why let the enemy know your secrets.

We need to move away from surface to air defense systems. The future is a mixture of both but must be drone to drone capability as the main focus. This idea that an overwhelming missiles defense being reasonably achievable or affordable defense strategy needs to change.
The future is drones. Millions of drones.

On one hand, great!
On the other, i wonder how activists will respond to this move. Would they become more anti-Ukraine if Israel is helping them or would they accept the move since now the weapon isn’t used in Israel?

Israel should share their other air defense missile too.
