"In a month and a half, we created a project from scratch and made a shield from Metinvest's Ukrainian armor steel for the Patriot air defense system crew, which guarantees protection against debris damage to both the defenders and the air defense control center," said Oleksandr Myronenko, a COO of Metinvest Group.

    I still don’t why there are so many Patriot systems collecting dust all over Europe and the US when they’re needed NOW in Ukraine to actually do the work of saving lives.

      The short explanation is they’re needed for the defense of the countries they’re in. The long explanation is several pages of why.

      As you wish :
      “they put era on a patriot”

      disclaimer

      i have not a single clue what this means, sorry for that.


      Edit : Thanks to you (@Maggoty, @NoSpotOfGround) for comments + explanations. So, i got this from Wikipedia :
      … “The most common type is explosive reactive armour (ERA),” …

        The Ukrainians have an awesome habit of putting ERA on vehicles given to them “good as is”, to the horror of the Western military industrial complex.
