Ukrainian troops headed to Oklahoma for missile defense training
Fox News
About 100 Ukrainian troops will be trained on the Patriot missile defense system at Oklahoma's Fort Sill, according to a Tuesday announcement by the Pentagon.
The number of Ukrainians coming to Fort Sill is approximately the number it takes to operate one battery, and they will focus on learning to operate and also maintain the Patriot, Pentagon spokesman Air Force Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday.
Kyiv's decision to take troops off the battlefield to train across the Atlantic in the U.S. is unusual, although it has sent forces for short-term training at European bases for other more complex systems it has received, such as on the longer-range High Mobility Artillery Rocket System.
