Not to be skeptical, but what are the chances that this might get leaked to the Russians?
Hope this one stick and Ukraine will be free from shackle that left its air space vulnerable.
Good, hope his word lasts more than 48h.
“There are concrete agreements. At our latest meeting, President Trump emphasized to me: ‘Yes, I have made the final decision. Ukraine will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles,’” Zelenskyy said.
Nothing is concrete with Trump. I don’t trust him for a second. But hopefully this does happen and I imagine money is the main driver here, not saving the lives for Ukrainians.
Image being at war and have to worry about copyright on your weapons.
Yeah!
Next headline:
“Trump held 2 hr talk with putin:
– Patriot-production in Ukraine blocker for peace talks. Trump reconsidering”
Quick, where’s the on-off switch?
He does have the cards
Pfff i have NO CLUE wtf Is going on in Trumps mind.
Would not be surprised if some end up being sold to the US to replenish depleted stocks. The reverse engineering though, will be a thing of beauty. The “totally not Patriot clone” Blue Flamingo, more range and a fraction of the cost, coming to a Defense trade show near you in a few years. Battle tested, of course.
Another short term decision by the short termist President. Still, good news for Ukraine if it holds.
Unless the manufactures have agreed, it looks like it’s just trump talking out of his arse again.
I’m impressed, if true
>after a **concrete** agreement between Zelenskyy and Trump was confirmed.
Like fuck it is, we will be lucky if it will be valid until next Tuesday.
I’ll believe it when the first one comes off a Ukrainian production line.
Spicy
Again?
If this is actually true and doesn’t take years and years to actually happen then the only reason Trump allowed is either because he’s getting massive kickbacks or more likely he knows the us supply of interceptors is critically low and needs other countries making them
I dont trust Trump for a second. Hes being least psychotic recently because of midterms, if they win, gloves will come off again and itll get much worse
I’ll believe it when I see Ukrainian missiles rolling out of a factory
Until Trump gets a call from his good buddy Putin. Then he’ll rescind the approval.
License? Once they have the schematics and software, they won’t need a license.
really surprised Ukraine was able to last the war this long. slava ukraine!
zelensky says? does anyone believe 🤡
This would take 3 to 5 years to see the first patriot missile coming out of Ukrainian factory.
This unfortunately won’t change anything in this war , or at least sure hope this war won’t last this much longer.
I mean, the Patriot missile system was first engineered back in the ’60s and then activated by the US army in the 80s. There have been improvements in refinements to it for sure, but it’s an old system. Not sure if this license is for the latest and greatest or an outdated version.
This is so interesting to me because I would have thought an adversary like Russia would have destroyed all of Ukraine’s missile building infrastructure within the opening days of the war. But here we are. Domestic production this far in
is incredible
.
If they truly went through with it, the whole thing would be “open sourced” in six months tops
