US to start training Ukrainians on Patriot system on US soil next week
Fox News
The U.S. intends to begin training with Ukrainian soldiers next week on the sophisticated Patriot missile system first pledged last month.
"The longer those troops are off the line – they're not actually engaged in combat – and so [the U.S. is] trying to work with Ukrainians to see what we can do to accelerate the training timeline," Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters. Liz Friden is a Pentagon producer based in Washington, D.C.
Ryder said he was not aware of additional plans to send a second round of troops for Patriot systems training at this time.
