To protect the Ukrainian port infrastructure, Patriot and SAMP-T air defense systems are needed

Military-political observer Oleksandr Kovalenko shared this information on the KYIV24 channel.

He emphasized that without the appropriate anti-aircraft missile systems (Patriot and SAMP-T), which could counter missiles like the Kh-22, Onyx, and Iskander-M, Ukraine’s port infrastructure would remain vulnerable. These missiles would continue to target grain infrastructure, grain hubs, and destroy them. Even if an agreement on grain trade is reached in the next 2-3 months and these anti-aircraft missile systems are provided, it may not be enough to protect the port infrastructure.

It’s worth noting that the warhead of the Kh-22 missile weighs nearly one ton.
