Donald Trump's promise to let Ukraine manufacture Patriot air defence systems could strengthen Kyiv's capabilities in the long term, but experts warn it will not solve the country's immediate battlefield needs. Building production lines, training workers and securing supplies could take years, while Ukraine continues to face daily Russian attacks.

I wish they could have just made that deal with the SAMP-T NG system. SAMP-T NG is already European and sending experts and spare parts from France and Italy would be a lot easier...

...not to mention France and Italy having trustworthy politicians in government in regards to Ukraine's defense, who won't stand in the way of any partnerships.
