Former Pentagon chief Esper believes it's too late to deliver Patriot to Ukraine

He said this in a conversation with Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) and Alexei Stolyarov (Lexus).

The pranksters called him on behalf of the ex-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

“I am worried that Patriot missiles will not arrive in Ukraine for another six, seven, eight months.

I don't know what the Biden administration is telling you, but I think it's too late.

You needed them now, last month,” says Esper.

In his opinion, the West was slow to deliver missile defense systems for key cities and key infrastructure.

Boris Obnosov, General Director of the Tactical Missiles Corporation, said earlier that he was proud of the Kh-31PD anti-radar missile, which flies at a speed of more than 1000 m/s to destroy air defense systems and is capable of winning a duel battle against the American Patriot system.
