struggling patriots....

US-made Patriot air defense systems, long hailed as a cornerstone of Western military aid to Ukraine, are now struggling to intercept advanced Russian ballistic missiles, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

One unnamed Ukrainian official told the outlet that Russian ballistic missiles have become more maneuverable, allowing them to evade Patriot radar detection. He did not clarify what type of missiles he was referring to.

Meanwhile, in light of the EU’s efforts to wean itself from the American military-industrial complex amid uncertainty regarding continued US support for Ukraine, a next-generation European alternative is seeking to dethrone the Patriots, the report says.

The upgraded Samp/T missile system, developed by the Franco-Italian joint venture Eurosam, is being promoted as better suited to handle current threats and features a new radar that reportedly detects targets at a distance of more than 350km while being able to fire missiles in all directions, the paper notes.

The Samp/T also requires fewer operators, with the entire system able to run with as few as 15 people, compared to roughly 90 troops needed for a US Patriot battery, according to the WSJ.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly expressed concerns about Samp/T’s performance. Nevertheless, an Italian defense official told the paper that the system had received “positive feedback” from Kiev.

On Monday, US President Donald Trump announced 17 Patriots were “ready to be shipped” to Ukraine, although his remark caused some confusion in Kiev as he did not clarify whether that number referred to full systems or their individual components.

Trump has also insisted on a scheme in which European NATO members would purchase US weapons for Ukraine. The EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has welcomed his readiness to send Patriots but urged Washington “to share the burden” for the deliveries.

Russia has consistently condemned Western arms shipments to Ukraine, saying they only prolong the conflict without altering its outcome.
