According to the publication, there are 10 missiles.

US President Donald Trump, in a telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, promised him to immediately send 10 Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine, Axios reports , citing its sources.

The publication notes that this refers to 10 missiles, while, according to media reports, Ukraine was supposed to receive 30 Patriot missiles before the cessation of supplies from the US.

The publication recalls that at the beginning of the month, the US suspended the supply of these missiles to Ukraine, but Trump changed his decision after a conversation with Zelensky. Both sides called the conversation the best phone conversation since Trump took office.

“Trump told Zelensky that he wanted to help Ukraine strengthen its air defenses, but stressed that the United States should suspend the latest arms delivery to check its stockpiles, two sources familiar with the conversation said…

Trump promised to immediately send 10 Patriot interceptors – fewer than planned in the suspended delivery – and help find other sources of supply,” the publication writes.

    • You’re mixing up 2 things. If you read the Axios article, it clearly states “10 Patriot interceptors” (i.e., missiles) that trumpkov would send out of the 30 that President Biden had already funded. It separately talks about selling Patriot *batteries* to Ukraine.

    • Ukraine needs at least 10 new Patriot Missile Batteries, with hundreds of missiles.
      In fact the U.S. has committed to just 10 missiles.
      It was previously announced that two full systems were being delivered by Greece and Israel.
      That turned out to be total bullshit.
      Merz has apparently ordered 4 new systems from the US for Ukraine.
      It is not known whether the US has accepted the order, or if they have, when they will be delivered.
