The Ukrainians do operate those Patriots. You have no basis for saying otherwise.

“Multiple” is 2 launcher units out of the 22 delivered to Ukraine. 18 in three batteries and four extra. A Patriot battery is made up of, normally, 6 launchers, a radar vehicle, antenna, control and generator vehicles. The hard to replace bits are these.

And then there are the reload vehicles, Im not sure of the numbers per battery. Some sources say the lost Patriot units in the incident were a launcher and a reload vehicle, which rather resembles a launcher.

Don't be fooled about that. A few people on this forum have mentioned the workaround the Pentagon uses to be keep their soldiers from officially operating these systems in Ukraine.

Here is the basis ! They admitted it!

They were open about the fact that the most complicated, high tech Western equipment is being operated by NATO personnel.

We were told it was all a “conspiracy theory” and that there were “no boots on the ground”.
