According to Pentagon representatives, instructors have quickly conducted training for Ukrainian soldiers. Thus, 65 Ukrainian military personnel will complete their training at an American military base in Oklahoma in the coming days. The course was able to be significantly accelerated because the soldiers had basic air defense knowledge. The Ukrainians will return to Europe, where they will go through the final training stage.
Brigadier General Shane Morgan pointed out that it usually takes about a year for American soldiers to learn how to use these anti-aircraft missiles, while the Ukrainians completed training quicker through the intensive training program that started in mid-January 2023.
It is reported that Patriot air defense batteries from the US, Germany, and the Netherlands will be deployed in Ukraine in the coming weeks.
