Crypto World Network news: According to a report by Russia’s Sputnik, former U.S. career diplomat and a former assistant secretary of the Department of Defense for international security affairs, Chase Freeman, said that even if the U.S. grants Ukraine production licenses, Ukraine will be unable to independently assemble the “Patriot” air defense missile system in the coming years. Freeman said, “In fact, Ukraine should not even hope to start ‘Patriot’ missile production in the coming years.” He also stressed that even in the United States, producing a complete system requires two years. Freeman added: “At present, the U.S. has no ‘Patriot’ systems available to supply to Ukraine, and it won’t have any in the coming years either. And we expect that by then, this conflict will have ended long ago.”.
