Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky has confirmed that his country has transferred MIM-104 Patriot air defence systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. “The Patriot systems that we once received from the U.S. are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service in the early 1990s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine,” the ambassador informed the Ukrainian media outlet Insider.
Speaking on June 8, he notably refrained from specifying the timing of the transfer, and thus did not provide confirmation as to whether reports by Western sources in January 2025 of such transfers were accurate, or whether the systems were delivered more recently. Brodsky further refrained from elaborating on the number of systems which have been delivered, meaning it will likely remain uncertain whether Israel agreed to supply its entire arsenal, or has maintained some units in storage. It has been reported that radars and other parts of the Israeli systems will first be refurbished in the United States before delivery to Ukraine.
