@pizzashill thats whole yearly production of patriots missile. They went straight from factory to Ukraine. It's just like Redditors saying all the money stays in U.S. because as retailcel you should know when you give away for free fresh products and even not fresh you make no loses.
Then patriot hit rate is below 30%
As a result of the congressional investigation, the Army revised its claims, saying it only had high confidence that the Patriot hit 25 percent of the Scuds, or 11 missiles. That claim is still higher than independent assessments.
but let's for sake of simplicity decide 500 patriots can blow up 200 missiles. Russian build more than 200 missiles a month and Russian missiles stockpile is now bigger than in 2021.
Goal of giving those patriots to Ukraine is to stop… not even stop but something so that Russia doesn't turn off Ukrainian nuclear plants by wiping Ukrainian electricity.
On top of it Russian are biting khohols AD

👀 This is what the Russian UAV "Parodiya" looks like, which does not have a charge and is actively used at the moment of an attack by Shahed to distract the attention of air defense. pic.twitter.com/aGjSHp3mGh

Khohols have no way of telling if drone has charge or not and such drone can wipe out an electric station.
1 Patriot missile cost now more than 6 millions to build. 6 millions x 500 = 3 billions to save khohols for 1,5 days of missiles strikes
The performance of the Patriot system in Ukraine must not be manipulated to promote other agendas. The defense of Ukraine is too important. We all have to hope the Army has absorbed the lessons of past failures and that the new, improved Patriots can provide Ukraine the protection it desperately needs. MAY 5, 2023
You remember how I during that time last year that patriot system ain't better than S300 and then I posted video how Patriot system got blown up. And local pro khohols were crying that it's fake their magical system can't be destroyed next day after they were installed ?
Good times

But I kinda found hilarious that when Trump won the election Zelenskyy rushed next day to Hungary. He never visited all those years Hungary and was pooping on Orban but because he is Trumps best friend in EU Zelenskyy now needs to kiss his butt

There was multiple events in Hungary the last 3 years. That's literally the only EU country he never visited in those 3 years. He also had a personal talk with Orban that lead to nowhere. His goal is now to improve relationships with Hungary
It's not the first time Orban invited him but Zelenskyy declined because Hungary wasn't friendly to Ukraine.
So something changed
So do better pal
Also it hilarious that Zelenskyy now fires folks that told him to bet on Biden and now he kisses Trump butt
So you suggesting Zelenskyy now won't forget about Sholtz and Biden and won't focus on Orban and Trump ?

I never said he didn't visit. You said he came to kiss his butt purposefully to Hungary, I just pointed out he came, because there was a pan-european meeting.
Sal, I'm sorry, but I've switched jobs and these are hard times for SWEs, so I won't be able to read rdrama while I'm rotting in my chair reviewing PRs or altering 3 lines of code a day, but will actually try to be productive, so while I tried for a fleeting second and I do admit it's really fun to make fun of you and read your easily refutable schizoposts, I don't really have the energy like I used to a year ago.

There not much Ukrainian left that want to fight, they don't even defend Kurakhove that much.
