    Solid ammo package there. Curious to see how solid Ukraine’s air defense network gets as they get more and more Patriot batteries. IIRC, the US has already donated a pair, Germany is in the process of delivering a few, and the US is manufacturing another five batteries for Ukraine over the next eighteen months.

    Thank you US, using your military aid to fight the Kremlin’s barbaric land grab is more than welcome.
