The repairs lasted several months, after which the Patriot was returned to Ukraine and is once again resisting Russian attacks.

Several months ago, Russia managed to seriously damage a MIM-104 Patriot radar in Ukraine, Deputy Commander of NATO’s Security Assistance and Training Program for Ukraine, Major General Mike Keller, told FAZ.

As the German Military Aid to Ukraine project , which tracks German arms deliveries to Ukraine, writes, the general said that after the damage, the Patriot installation was delivered to Germany. At first, specialists determined that the radar installation was completely out of order and could not be repaired. However, since replacing the radar installation with a new one would take several years, German Air Force experts tried to repair it themselves.

“They achieved this by working 16 hours a day from Monday to Saturday,” the general noted.

In July, the radar installation was returned to Ukraine and it is already working. In particular, last week, the first Russian target was intercepted with the help of this radar installation.
