Ukrainian soldiers excel in Patriot missile training with US trainers.
TL;DR
Ukrainian soldiers have mastered the Patriot missile defense system faster than expected during their training in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The Ukrainians, who were already experienced air defenders, progressed quickly through the course and were able to design their own scenarios based on the tactics they know the Russians use in combat. After completing the training, they will head to an undisclosed location in Europe to join another group of trainees who are completing a parallel course with the Dutch and German militaries before heading back to Ukraine with the new equipment in the coming weeks.
