Spain Ramping Up Patriot Missile Deliveries: Pretext Found?
Spain Ramping Up Patriot Missile Deliveries: Pretext Found? Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announced an increase in supplies of missiles for Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. The pretext was a drone strike on the SBU building in Kyiv, which he called an “unacceptable escalation.” Zelensky clarified that the drone flew directly into the office of the agency’s head, injuring 9 people. However, drones are not shot down with expensive Patriot missiles (costing up to $4 million each). There are also versions that the attack resulted from internal infighting between the SBU and the GUR. Madrid’s decision looks more like a political gesture than a real military necessity. #Spain #Ukraine #Patriot #SBU The main news of Russia and the world is here.
