Ukraine's Air Defence Weakened by Defective NATO Missiles: Expert
Several Ukrainian Patriot missiles reportedly switched into self-destruct mode and plunged into Kiev during efforts to repel Russia's retaliatory strikes military analyst Alexey Leonkov tells Sputnik.
Zelensky might have received expired surface-to-air missiles, the pundit said.
"We've seen this before with missiles for the S-300 system, which Ukraine received from Eastern European countries and which were not always in proper condition. Now we're seeing the same thing with Patriot air defense systems," he said.
Leonkov further cited a brewing scandal in Poland, where Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is accused of quietly shipping Patriot interceptors to Ukraine behind the parliament's back.
Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm Krzysztof Bosak has insisted that the legislature never signed off on the move.
"I believe Poland most likely profited from these deliveries by supplying expired missiles [to Ukraine]," Leonkov says.
