Spain teaches Ukrainian military personnel to service Patriot missile system

Military personnel from Spain's Anti-Aircraft Artillery Command are currently leading the training near the city of Valencia, in support of Ukraine as part of the European Union Military Assistance Mission. The Patriot missile system training is one of the commitments made by the Spanish Armed Forces to enhance the training of Ukrainian military personnel in 2024, the country's General Staff said on Friday.

Ukraine has developed its own air defense systems, official says

The "Ukrainian-made and Ukrainian-designed" air defense systems are similar to Hawk anti-aircraft weapons, though not a replacement for longer-range Patriot missiles.

Ukraine received and deployed its first Patriot defense systems in April 2023.

Cherniev declined to give a name to the Ukrainian weapons, citing ongoing testing, but said the missiles are "ready."
