Ukrainian military can quickly learn to use the Patriot missile defence system. However, so far, everything depends on Germany's decision.
The training of Ukrainian soldiers will take up to two months, said Deputy Minister of National Defence of Poland Wojciech Skurkiewicz, reports PAP.
For Poland, the main issue is to strengthen the eastern flank of NATO, he stressed.
"In our actions, we also strive to support the work of the Ukrainian army as much as possible. The protection of NATO airspace should also be carried out by the Ukrainian side. The Ukrainian side is capable of taking Patriot. I am convinced that it will take very little time for the Ukrainian side to adapt this weapon and learn how to operate it," Skurkiewicz said.
Earlier, Germany offered Poland a Patriot missile defenсe system to help it protect its airspace. And Polish Defenсe Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said he had asked Germany to transfer Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine.
