In just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than 800 Patriot missiles were used — more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a press briefing on March 5.
The statement comes as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East after the U.S., in a joint operation with Israel, carried out strikes on several Iranian cities on Feb. 28 that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
“Ukraine has never had this many missiles to repel attacks. More than 800 have been used over the past three days alone,” Zelensky said.
I know I feel less safe knowing the a lot of arsenal is spent.
If it helps, they were never meant to protect the US homeland. Logistically there is too much coastline and not enough batteries. You have the same amount of protection as you did before.
