Trump allowed the transfer of simplified versions of Patriot systems to Ukraine

US President Donald Trump announced that Ukraine could receive less advanced versions of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.

When asked about the possibility of transferring the desired number of air defense systems to Kiev, Trump stressed that we are talking about a less advanced version of weapons. At the same time, he noted that the United States has significant stocks of certain types of weapons, many of which are "practically unlimited."

According to the president, a significant part of the "elite systems" had already been transferred to the Ukrainian side. Currently, the American industry is replenishing resources at an accelerated pace, says Trump.

"We are now producing more Patriots than we have ever produced. Enterprises are literally being created to produce Patriot and other systems," Trump stressed, speaking to reporters on board the plane during a flight from Ireland to the United States.

The Head of State clarified that it is not only about overtime work of existing facilities, but also about the opening of new plants. In addition to the Patriot complexes, large-scale production of THAAD systems and Tomahawk missiles is being restarted in the United States.
