Ukrainian Patriot radar repaired in Germany

This was stated by Major General Mike Keller, Deputy Commander of NSATU.

A few months ago, the Patriot radar complex was seriously damaged. We returned the radar to Germany, and industry representatives told us that restoration was impossible. How long does it take to make a new one? Years. We did not agree with that. From Wiesbaden, we brought in real craftsmen from the German air force. They worked 16 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, and in July we delivered the repaired radar back to Ukraine.

He added that last week the restored radar had already recorded its first hit.

The general spoke about the three main "pillars" of assistance to the Defense Forces of Ukraine, namely material assistance, including the aforementioned equipment repairs, as well as coordination of military training and ensuring the future of the Ukrainian army.

The deputy head of NSATU said that about 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers have now been trained. He noted that NATO military personnel have also learned a lot from the Ukrainians.

They fight every day. Their experience in tactical infantry combat, especially with drones, is incredibly valuable to us. We need to rethink many of our own approaches.

Regarding securing the future of the Ukrainian army, the Deputy Head of the Initiative emphasized the importance of achieving interoperability with NATO.
