Retired U.S. General Mark Hertling cautioned the lengthy training that is required for the defense system.
on Friday that training for maintenance and repair can traditionally take up to a full calendar year.
Cohen said the U.S. does not have"a ton of PAC 2 and PAC 3s just lying around" that can be sent to Ukraine, adding,"Once the battery and missiles are sent, the U.S. will not get them back." "For understandable reasons, Ukraine's use of ammunition is outpacing supply, at least for some systems," Cohen said."With the Patriot, given the lack of freely available missiles, they cannot be wasted....I think that the delivery and training of this system will take many months and, because of the limited supply as well as the cost, I am not sure that it will be used—or, at the very least, used successfully—before late spring 2023 at the absolute earliest.
