A group of 65 Ukrainian soldiers have completed training on Patriot air defense systems at Fort Sill in Oklahoma and have departed for Europe to interact with their colleagues training in Europe.
This was announced at a briefing on Thursday by Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder, a Yevropeiska Pravda correspondent reports.
"This week, 65 Ukrainian air defense personnel have completed training on Patriot systems in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and have returned to Europe. They are integrating with other Ukrainian air defense forces, as well as with Patriot air defense systems provided by the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands," he said.
Ryder also said that "at the end of this month" a group of more than 4,000 Ukrainian soldiers is expected to complete training in two brigades, one equipped with Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and the other with Stryker infantry fighting vehicles then return to Ukraine.
"Additional general military training exercises are currently underway in Germany at the Graffin-Bier and Hohenfels training ranges," the Pentagon spokesman added.-
