Western anti-aircraft missile systems Patriot and SAMP/T, capable of shooting down ballistic missiles of the Russian invaders, will soon arrive in Ukraine.
The speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yurii Ihnat stated this on the air of the telethon.
"Patriot and SAMP/T should go to Ukraine in the near future. It was announced that our specialists would be trained for two months. We expect them to show up," Ihnat said.
