Ukraine could have had a stockpile of missiles for Patriot surface-to-air missile systems sufficient for several years of combat operations if a significant portion of these munitions had not been used in the Middle East. At the same time, the experience of the full-scale war forced Ukrainian forces to change the tactics for using American air defense systems and to learn to use expensive interceptors more sparingly.
This was stated by Yuri Ihnat, head of the Communications Directorate of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in a media podcast. He explained that Ukrainian forces adapted Patriot employment tactics to the conditions of modern warfare, in particular learning to use the systems for sudden strikes and to relocate their positions quickly.
