He described possessing the system as \u201ca dream\u201d but said he was told in the U.S. at the time that it was \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainian personnel have been trained on the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-patriot-missile-system-explainer-b16125509161de8a7a3b4c38022534c7\">Patriot battery<\/a>, which can need as many as 90 troops to operate and maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7430\" height=\"4956\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg 7430w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg?resize=1536,1025 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23109448111261.jpg_ed3b28.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7430px) 100vw, 7430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &#8211; Patriot missile launchers acquired from the U.S. last year are seen deployed in Warsaw, Poland, on Feb. 6, 2023.

And our partners have kept their word,\u201d Reznikov wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts have cautioned that the system\u2019s effectiveness is limited, and it may not be a game changer in the war, even though it will add to Ukraine\u2019s arsenal against its bigger enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Patriot was first deployed by the U.S. in the 1980s. The system costs approximately $4 million per round and the launchers cost about $10 million each, analysts say. At such a cost, it\u2019s not advantageous to use the Patriot to shoot down the far smaller and cheaper Iranian drones that Russia has been buying and using in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyiv officials have reported daily civilian, but not military, casualties from Russian bombardment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least four civilians were killed and 27 others were injured in Ukraine on Tuesday and overnight, the press office of Ukraine\u2019s defense ministry reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 50-year-old man and 44-year-old woman were killed in a Russian airstrike on a border town in the northeastern Kharkiv region, its Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said in televised remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian forces launched 12 rocket, artillery, mortar, tank and drone attacks on Ukraine\u2019s southern Kherson region, its Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin said, killing one civilian at a market in the center of Kherson, the region\u2019s namesake capital, and a nearby school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman was killed and another was wounded in northern Ukraine after Russian forces shelled the border village of Richki from multiple rocket launchers, the local military administration said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian forces also fired nighttime exploding drones at Ukraine\u2019s southern Odesa region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriot can target aircraft, cruise missiles and shorter-range ballistic missiles.
