U.S. armed forces will begin training up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers on the sophisticated Patriot missile system next week at Fort Sill, Okla., a defense official confirmed for Fox News Tuesday. The training is expected to take several months, though it will still be an expedited process in comparison to roughly year-long program the Patriot missile system traditionally takes. "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.

Seems unlikely.
Would be nice if the government cared about America as much as it cares about their puppet regime in the Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops have trained before on US soil.
The US army base training Ukrainian fighters
Senior-level Ukrainian officers have been studying in the US state of Kansas, thousands of miles from Russia's invasion and the battlefields of Donbas. Outside the Fort Leavenworth army base, wheat fields are starting to turn. Wide, open prairie land, with softly rolling hills, stretches for miles, and the sky is huge.
Fort Leavenworth has proved to be a valuable training ground for dozens of Ukrainian soldiers over the past several decades, who spend a year studying at the base's US Army Command and General Staff College.

tBozo - spending all his dayz on FR waiting to pounce on all Uke threads - like a dutiful little harpie.
We are Russia’s opponent in this war. They have every justification for treating us that way.
Biden is a disaster on Ukraine:
* 6 months to get them HIMARS
* 12 months to get them missile defense
* 18 months? to get them tanks
It will be years before Ukraine gets the weapons that would end the war. Biden is slow-walking everything.
Here is an idea:
We have 1000 spare F-16s sitting in the desert. With another 1000 soon to join them.
Invite a bunch of Ukrainians over to Nevada. Train them for three months. Send them home flying 1000 F-16s.
Russian Airforce ceases to exist. Russian Army runs away. The war ends. Ukraine sends us back the planes.
Much cheaper and easier for everybody.
Too late. It’s over.
Are you still going over?
Make it so!
We do have foreigners incur military. Ukrainians should have been members of our military all along. Trained in European theater tactics. Then they could return home in an emergency. Something tells me Israelis who came from Ukraine are doing just that.
I wonder how many will refuse to go back home
I bet Burisma has something to do with this. They were impeaching Trump over talking about it on a phone call.
I’m no expert, but I am confident I am one of about 200 million Americans who would do a better job than Biden.
What’s the America’s post-Vietnam track record with arming and training people to again?
We didn’t attack Russia when they were doing more than this in Vietnam and Korea, in fact even supplying some troops and pilots.
Trump does want them to be given MiGs I don’t know about the American jets, I assume those also.
