Two of the officials said the Patriot will come from Pentagon stocks and be moved from another country overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-government-90e64b55be24112191c5413a3e220a4c\" target=\"_blank\">President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed Western leaders as recently as Monday<\/a> to provide more advanced weapons to help his country in its war with Russia. The Patriot would be the most advanced surface-to-air missile system the West has provided to Ukraine to help repel Russian aerial attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a video conference on Monday, Zelenskyy told host Germany and other leaders of the Group of Seven industrial powers that his country needed long-range missiles, modern tanks, artillery, missile batteries and other high-tech air defense systems to counter Russian attacks that have knocked out electricity and water supplies for millions of Ukrainians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He acknowledged that, \u201cUnfortunately, Russia still has an advantage in artillery and missiles.\u201d And he said protecting Ukraine\u2019s energy facilities from Russian missiles and Iranian drones \u201cwill be the protection of the whole of Europe, since with these strikes Russia is provoking a humanitarian and migration catastrophe not only for Ukraine, but also for the entire EU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2022\/06\/08\/ukraine-invasion-prompts-congressional-push-for-a-new-look-at-patriot-missile-defense-needs\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4449281.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Ukraine invasion prompts congressional push for a new look at Patriot missile defense needs<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Lawmakers are pushing for the Army to re-examine its Patriot battery and interceptor requirements amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House and Pentagon leaders have said consistently that providing Ukraine with additional air defenses is a priority, and Patriot missiles have been under consideration for some time. Officials said that as the winter closed in and the Russian bombardment of civilian infrastructure escalated, that consideration took on increased priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pentagon and State Department officials at briefings on Tuesday would not confirm the plan to provide Patriots to Ukraine, repeatedly saying they had nothing to announce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. officials had balked at providing the weapons to Ukraine because they could be considered a escalation that would trigger a response from Moscow. The Patriot also requires significant training and there were concerns that U.S. troops would have been required to operate it. Biden has flatly rejected sending any U.S. combat troops to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked about training, Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said that in general the U.S. takes those needs into consideration when providing complicated weapons systems to Ukraine, such as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, known as HIMARS. Currently U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on a number of systems, including the HIMARS, in other European countries, such as Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration\u2019s potential approval of a Patriot battery was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/12\/13\/politics\/us-patriot-missile-defense-system-ukraine\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">first reported by CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to officials, the U.S. plan would be to send one Patriot battery. A truck-mounter Patriot battery includes up to eight launchers, each of which can hold four missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire system, which includes a phased array radar, a control station, computers and generators, typically requires about 90 soldiers to operate and maintain, however only three soldiers are needed to actually fire it, according to the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patriot missile systems and other similar sophisticated surface-to-air weapons are in major demand among U.S. allies, including eastern European nations worried that they could be Russia\u2019s next targets. The U.S. has a limited number of the systems, and has deployed them across the the Middle East and Europe in recent years to help allies protect against the threat of incoming ballistic missiles from countries such as Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press reporter Tara Copp contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. officials say the Biden administration is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":105814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":7,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[7,29],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1314,464],"class_list":["post-30363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battlefield-tech","category-home"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"QDNUBIWID5CXXLMEKEOQPRSGPQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2022\/12\/13\/us-poised-to-approve-patriot-missile-battery-for-ukraine\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US poised to approve Patriot missile battery for Ukraine - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"U.S. officials say the Biden administration is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US poised to approve Patriot missile battery for Ukraine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"U.S. officials say the Biden administration is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/battlefield-tech\/2022\/12\/13\/us-poised-to-approve-patriot-missile-battery-for-ukraine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-12-13T21:30:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T14:42:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
