Ukraine will purchase 10 "Patriot" missile systems.
On the local time of the 14th, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was prepared to buy 10 "Patriot" air defense systems from the United States at a price of 15 billion US dollars.
Previously, the "Patriot" air defense systems purchased by Western countries from the United States were generally worth 1.1 billion US dollars per set and included a large number of air defense missiles. This time, the price Ukraine purchased was significantly different, and 15 billion US dollars was also an astronomical number. It should be noted that Ukraine's annual gross domestic product is only about 200 billion US dollars. Although European countries may provide some funds to Ukraine, Ukraine itself will definitely pay part of it. The "Patriot" air defense system cannot help Ukraine win the victory; a drone worth tens of thousands of US dollars can destroy it. The urgent task now is for Ukraine to end this war as soon as possible, otherwise the debt will increase more and more.
